Call for Papers | ESC Special Issue | Inclusive Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Education
The journal Education, Society & Cultures (ESC) invites submissions for a special issue on inclusive technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in education.

This thematic issue reflects the collaborative commitment of several research centres in Education Sciences — including CIIE/labDERE, LE@D/UAb, and the University of Extremadura — to advancing critical perspectives on the design and use of AI in education.
