The different situations and surroundings in which learning takes places, either physically, socially, or virtually.
Learning Environment / Spaces of Knowledge
Some of the situations and surroundings can be formal or institutionalised, such as the University, the classroom, the lecture hall, but many are formal and situated, in line with Fred Moten and Stefano Harney’s “The Undercommons” p.110 which states:
“When I think about the way we use the term “study”, it’s talking and walking around with other people, working, dancing, suffering, being a kind of workshop, playing in a band, in a jam session, or old men sitting on a porch, or people working together in a factory. The point of calling it “study” is to mark that the incessant and irreversible intellectuality of these activities is already present.”
