Commoning

Commoning

Commoning pedagogies do the work of worlding, of composing and composting worlds. This means shifting from the current focus upon individual human learners learning facts about the world (out there), to following and enabling collective, productive and pedagogical worldly relations.  We propose that commoning pedagogies: 

·   are inclusive modes of learning with;  

·   assemble and learn with difference (human and non-human), with heterogeneity, but not with the intention of creating sameness. They are not assimilatory;   

·   help us to learn how to live with difference in damaged heterogeneous worlds; and 

·   are cosmopolitical because they engage with the ethics and politics of living with more-than-human difference (Stengers, 2015).
