Affrica Taylor: Quote of the Day

When I started thinking about a conceptual framework for early childhood pedagogies, I was really interested in this notion of common worlds, because I'd read a lot of Latour's work.  I sort of grabbed onto it because it really spoke to me in a couple of ways.  First off, I really love the idea of the commons and I think about that, not just in terms of human commons, but in terms of the ways the notion of a commons is used in the sciences.  You know: the sky, the air we breathe, the water, everything about the world we live in is something that's common to all beings on Earth.  So that's a notion of the commons I really loved.  And the notion of worlds and worlding (via Haraway).  I love the idea that we live in a world, we don't just live in a society. - Affrica Taylor, 2019
