What Does Donna Haraway Think About Education in the Chthulucene?
Shared by IVETA SILOVA
Last year I asked Donna Haraway about her vision for education in the Chthulucene, a timeplace for learning ‘to stay with the trouble’ in this moment of epochal precarity. In our conversation, we discussed a series of questions: What kind of thinking is needed to move beyond the logics of human exceptionalism and neoliberal individualism embedded in the (Western) modernist education paradigm? What thought experiments are necessary to bring into focus much needed education alternatives? How can education nurture a radical ontological transfiguration of our relations with each other, with other species, and with the Earth? What role can education play in the process of ‘becoming-with’ Earth others as we recompose worlds together for the future survival of our planet? Join me in conversation with Donna Haraway to learn about her own education experiences, some memorable moments of ‘becoming-with’ others, and ideas about how to fabulate new education pasts, presents, and futures.
