Abstract
The Aim(s) This paper provides original analysis of Falguni Sheth’s framework on unruliness and the logics of exclusion to understanding intersecting mechanisms that exclude and punish minoritised children and young people in the UK. It highlights how their education and human rights are intrinsically tied to how liberal states apply race as a technological tool to other and discipline liminal groups. Rationale Existing research and theoretical insights exploring exclusion of minoritised children and young people limit their analysis to educational impacts, and disregard an intersectional lens to understand how disciplining and punishment operationalises and singles them out. This paper argues that the exclusionary experiences of minoritised children and young people are overlooked because they often fall outside of educational sites, however, there is also a reluctance from some educational psychologists and educators to understand what meaningful inclusion means. Findings Sheth’s framework on unruliness is proposed as a template for professionals and academics working with minoritised children and young people. This framework highlights how policies that might appear ‘impartial’ often single out certain groups of children and young people for exclusion from participating in educational and wider settings. Limitations This paper provides an original theoretical contribution to understanding exclusion from a safeguarding and rights-based perspective. Further empirical studies applying Sheth’s framework need to be conducted to understand its significance in addressing exclusions that minoritised children and young people experience. Conclusions This paper concludes by envisioning a way forward away from exclusionary mechanisms and the implications for educational psychologists and educators.
