Abstract
The theme of connecting communities in education prompts reflection on the very ideas of community and connection. A paradox of globalization is that as different communities have become more connected - globally and within nation states - many assert their specificity more strongly. So tendencies towards universalism are viewed more skeptically. This lecture has two aims. First, it calls for a reconsideration of the meaning of community and our reasons for valuing it. Secondly, it proposes a qualified universalism that recognizes the extent to which communities do indeed connect, with some implications for education.
