SANTANA COLLABORATORY: CUENCA, ECUADOR<\/strong>


\u2018Collaboratory\u2019 is a hybrid term between collaboration<\/em> and laboratory<\/em>. This term emphasises our research site as an emerging, dialogic space that is foregrounded on methodological commitments that enable possibilities for rigorously experimental knowledge-making processes.


Our research with Santana school<\/a> is situated in the Andean city of Cuenca, on lands originally belonging largely to the Ca\u00f1ari peoples. This blog offers snapshots into the pedagogical processes happening at Santana’s early childhood program, ‘Nivel Inicial’. What we have encountered throughout this project is that, in order to think differently<\/em> with plastics,<\/em> our work with Santana has required a radical rethinking of the purposes and processes of early years education. Mapping the tensions, flows and rhythms of this project, we use this site as a contact zone for thinking through our daily inquiries and pedagogical decisions as ongoing processes of curriculum-making as we pursue conditions that might create and sustain new relations with plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
