AIER Journal is an international peer-reviewed research journal dedicated to advancing scholarship in inclusive education. It brings together theoretical, empirical, and practice-based work from researchers and practitioners worldwide, with no preference for any single methodological approach; submissions are judged on rigor and their contribution to the field. The journal covers the full breadth of inclusive education, from special educational needs and accessible pedagogy to policy reform, teacher development, and lifelong learning pathways for diverse learners. AIER Journal is edited from the UK and actively supports researchers publishing from South Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia, reflecting a commitment to inclusive education as a genuinely global concern. Beyond reporting completed studies, the journal also welcomes scholarly discussion on emerging issues and unresolved questions that shape the future of inclusive practice.

Your work may be a fit for AIER Journal if it addresses one or more of the following:

• Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion in educational settings
• Accessible pedagogy and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
• Multilingual and multicultural education
• Mental health, wellbeing, and belonging in schools
• Technology-enhanced learning for diverse learners
• Policy, legislation, and systemic reform in inclusive education
• Teacher education and professional development for inclusion
• Early childhood inclusive practices
• Transitions, post-school pathways, and lifelong learning

If your submission touches on inclusive education through a lens not listed above, the editorial board still encourages you to reach out, since the list is illustrative rather than exhaustive.
