"Staying with the Trouble"

"Staying with the Trouble" is a concept from Donna Haraway that encourages engaging directly with complex, difficult issues rather than avoiding or simplifying them. It emphasizes perseverance and responsibility in confronting challenges—whether environmental, social, or personal—by maintaining active participation and awareness. The idea is to embrace discomfort and uncertainty as part of meaningful problem-solving, fostering a deeper understanding and connection with the world, rather than seeking quick fixes or detachment. Ultimately, it advocates for committed presence and attentive engagement in the face of complexity and change.
