Edited by Mary Kay Culpepper & Cynthia Burnett

Because it demands reimagining, reconsideration, and redefinition, change is an essential part of creativity. And in Big Questions in Creativity 2015, the field’s newest thinkers tackle some of its most intriguing questions in the service of promoting change in individuals, organizations, and our sociocultural institutions. As professional facilitators, artists, educators, and change leaders, these authors work to engender creativity in others. The questions they ask—and the answers they find—are key to understanding what creativity is now, and what it may well be in the future.
