I am a Lecturer in Education and Sociology in the School of Education and Sociology (EDSOC). I also recently joined the Citizenship, ‘Race’ and Belonging (CRaB) Research Network. My work sits at the crossroads of inclusive education, bilingual special education, justice and equity studies, culturally sustaining and trauma-informed pedagogies for disabled, migrant and refugee children, and teacher education.
My research focuses on increasing access to equitable education for students identified with disabilities and from migrant and forced migrant backgrounds in primary and secondary education. I have developed significant research and teaching expertise in providing differentiated instructions for students in Italy, the United Kingdom, Lebanon and the United States.
I use the Disability Critical Race Theory in Education (DisCrit) framework as an intersectional lens to examine inclusive policies and practices in education systems in Europe and the United States. My paper on color-evasiveness and the disablement of asylum-seeking children in Italy is an example of the first application of DisCrit outside of the US context. This work provides a window to explore how neoliberal reforms in education, combined with increasing immigration, are influencing education for those children who face exclusionary practices.
In research and teaching I commit to creating a meaningful, equitable, and inclusive learning experience for diverse communities. My stance towards teaching, research and service activities is liberatory.

I am Daniel Henry Smith from Liberia, West Africa. I am the founding executive director of the Teaching and Learning Center at the University of Liberia. I am also a PhD candidate in Education at the Rutgers Graduate School of Education. As a teenager, I experienced Liberia's civil war and escaped on foot to Guinea where I was educated in a school organized by the International Rescue Committee (IRC). I went on to complete my studies at the University of Liberia where I was the student president. My academic research focuses on the extent to which international intervention in educational development in Liberia fosters or hinders innovation among Liberian educators and has implications for the effective collaboration between international organizations and local stakeholders in educational development.

I am a senior lecturer in organization studies and management. My work looks at how organizations and societies can promote inclusion. I am particularly interested in a critical examination of heritage and history to encourage building more inclusive societies. I am also looking at human resource policies influencing gender equality and inclusion. My other work looks at how social movement and social enterprises can build informal institutions supporting corporate responsible behaviour. I have extensive experience working in Europe (primarily UK), South America (primarily Brazil and Argentina) and West Africa (primarily, Ghana and Liberia) and the middle east (primarily, Iran).
