Ben Whitburn is an Associate Professor in the Southampton Education School, University of Southampton. As a disabled researcher, Ben seeks to heighten equity across educational sectors by building the capacity of educators to address breaches between theory and practice. To this end, he draws on innovative and critical methodologies to develop programmes in both research and teaching that are centred on the voices of those affected by disability and other intersectional diversities who are subject to ongoing inequities. Ben has published widely, highlighting the sociocultural role of education to inclusive development, offering theoretically supported and practical redress of marginalisation based on insiders’ perspectives.
