Per includere tutte le diversita. Una prospettiva etnografica su identitàe differenza nei contesti scolastici

Starting from the assumption that diversity is a normal human experience, the article would discuss the goal of inclusive and equitable education, which is highlighted in the 2030 Agenda for Sustain- able Development. By adopting the perspective of the philosophy of education by I. Sheffler and the studies in Educational Ethnography, the article will discuss the usual categories which are em- ployed to define Identity, Diversity and Human Potential. It will analyse how these contribute to shape labels that could lead to inclusion or exclusion of students from the learning process. Complex Instruction will be proposed as a means of developing a more rich and multifaceted vision of school contexts and of the identity of people who teach and learn there. Finally, the article debates the conditions for recognizing diversity as an opportunity in the educational project, and thus mak- ing the school a more equal and inclusive context.
