Description

This handbook explores the evolving role of creativity in university systems, pedagogy, and research practices across diverse regional and disciplinary contexts, addressing both emerging challenges and innovative possibilities for fostering creativity in higher education.

It features chapters by leading academics and practitioners across 11 countries, including Australia, Canada, Finland, India, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and the USA. The volume includes four sections covering creativity theories, creative methods, creativity in practice, and new directions, with topics ranging from exploring alternative research practices, interdisciplinary collaborations, and practice-led dissertations to forward-looking perspectives on the future of creativity in higher education. By redefining traditional approaches to learning and assessment and offering theoretical insights and practical strategies, the handbook shows how creativity is central to intellectual growth and a force for systemic change in higher education.
