Abstract

This chapter explores the interconnectivity of transnational relational space as an analytic framework to understand the intercultural dialogue such a relational space can generate. It argues how this was instrumental in conceptualizing and institutionalizing inclusive education within an old colonial school in postcolonial India, under the leadership of an Irish-born school Principal. The school was established in the mid-19th Century in colonial British India as a result of a transnational network of missionaries traveling from Europe to Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. The chapter draws on a larger ethnographic case study of the school which also includes research on archival historical writings on the school’s work during colonial and postcolonial India, prior to the beginning of the fieldwork for this research and biographical interviews with one of the longest serving retired school Principals.
