The research arose from an interest in the ‘how’ of inclusion. I wanted to study the ef fect that identity and power of individuals and groups have on 42 Carla DiGiorgio the implementation of inclusion at the school level. In doing so, I wanted to be open to the variety of special needs that students brought to one school, including learning, behavioural and social dif ficulties, speech and hearing issues, and physical and health challenges. I chose to do an ethnographic case study of one school’s experience of inclusion, using the Bourdieusian notions of identity and power to structure my analysis.

Such an approach can itself be re-expressed more specifically, and various other research traditions may be grouped under this rubric: natural, symbolic interactionalist, ethnographic, interpretative, etc. It is not our intention to tease out the dif ferences between these, nor to compare and contrast them in terms of Bourdieu’s own approach.
Such notions as habitus, field, and capital can be defined, but only within the theoretical system they constitute, not in isolation… Science admits on systems of laws… And what is true of concepts is true of relations, which acquire their meaning only within a system of relations… If I make extensive use of correspondence analysis, in preference to multivariate regression, for instance, it is because correspondence analysis is a relational technique of data analysis whose philosophy corresponds exactly to what, in my view, the reality of the social world is.
