Helen talks to philosopher Tom McClelland about ‘affordances’

Head over to YouTube for a 15-minute chat between Helen and the awesome To McClelland about how the pile of dirty dishes can look to one person like a pile of dirty dishes, and to another like a massive chore waiting to be done. And how that can help us understand why the washing-up can be such a bone of domestic contention. If you’re feeling intellectual, you can read the philosophy paper Tom wrote with Paulina Sliwa on this topic here.
