Fueling Creativity in Education
Education
What is the role of other people, objects and time in creativity? This question is one that sociocultural theory brings to the field of creativity. In this episode of Fueling Creativity, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood speak with Vlad Glaveanu, a multifaceted associate professor, author, thought leader, and creativity researcher. Vlad is widely published in the field of creativity, imagination, wonder, possibility and social change.
Listen in to learn about Vlad’s work investigating sociocultural theories for creativity and how sociocultural theory is furthering our global thinking around creativity in education. He sheds light on how time, people, and objects are connected to creativity, along with how you can amplify the creative process in your classroom or at home through his three ways to define creativity. Then, he shares his views on possibility and how it relates to creativity and education.
“What sociocultural thinking around creativity does is basically situate the creative person, the creative idea, within a wider context, and more than that, to see that context as an integral part of the creative process.” - Vlad Glaveanu
