In this chapter, I theorize how traces of scientific and medical discourses of the past continue to produce 'silent' effects in the classroom, perpetuating exclusionary practices.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:35 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55253 Fri 03 May 2024 15:23:55 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55255 Fri 03 May 2024 15:23:10 AEST ]]>
