“…It has been long established that people in close proximity are more likely to form interpersonal relationships (Newcomb, 1960;Ebbesen, Kjos, & Konecni, 1976). However, more recent studies show that communities are not necessarily bounded by geographical proximity (Baker & Ward, 2002;Gochenour, 2006;Moje, 2000). Gochenour (2006) acknowledges that people are beginning to conceive the concept of territory-free communities unbounded by physical location.…”

“…While a unifying definition was proposed, it is important to remember that community is at its core a personal experience of belonging to a group; therefore, definitions of community are relative and grounded in a specific context (Mahar et al, 2013). As such, researchers should clearly articulate their definition of community and recognize the limitations imposed by a particular definition (Moje, 2000).…”

The term community is used extensively in peer reviewed literature, though it is used differently by researchers across various disciplines. A better understanding of community, as an object of study, is needed to help guide policy, supports and services planning, and to build inclusive communities. This paper presents the results of a review of existing definitions published in peer-reviewed papers from various disciplines studying human behaviours and interactions. It also presents the results of focus groups with four persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and members of their communities exploring their own definitions of community. Definitions of community extracted from the peer-reviewed literature were compared to identify common themes. Qualitative analysis revealed 13 themes, some more common than others. Focus groups transcripts were also analyzed. Themes identified in the literature review were also found in the focus groups discussion. However, a novel concept related to the notion of community as being composed of people who are unpaid to be part of this network was identified. Based on these results, a definition of community is derived to help further not only academic research in the area, but also to inform policy and practice aiming to build inclusive communities.

“…Further, the viability of the social context relative to competence, autonomy, and relatedness directly impacts individual performance, self-selected goals, the internalization of those goals, and the individual capacity for disclosure. Ultimately, what these findings suggest is that there is, as Moje (2000) asserts, a fundamental link between the evolution of self, the act of citizenship, culture and community, and schooling.…”

“…What perspective will we take, how will that perspective be formed, and how will we come to understand our own perspective or position relative to other perspectives? Moje (2000), acknowledging the expanded definition of literacy as an "understanding of reading and writing as tools used for specific purposes in specific contexts" (p. 79), discussed the critical necessity of centering literacy within community. Her position reflects Heidegger's proposition that disclosure is essential to being.…”

“…Indeed Blommaert (2013) describes the current linguistic landscape in terms of 'superdiversity'. We cannot À if we ever could À make assumptions about the sameness of students, nor their communities (Moje, 2000). Outside of school, children may or may not know each other, and they may or may not share cultural, linguistic or ethnic heritage.…”

ABSTRACTIn this chapter we detail our understandings of inclusive pedagogical practices that enable all students to assemble complex literate repertoires. We discuss generative concepts from international related literature (e.g. Au, Dyson, Janks, Luke, McNaughton, Moll, Thomson). We then present descriptions of two lessons as examples of how inclusive pedagogical practices might look in primary and secondary classrooms. The focus will be on how texts work to represent the world in particular ways and not others À and the implications of this for the inclusion of diverse student cohorts in developing complex literate repertoires.
