Gökhan Gonul, @karrineldner and I are editing a special issue in @ActaPsych on innovation and creativity in children and nonhuman animals - we encourage submissions from diverse perspectives (empirical, theoretical, methodological). Please share widely: sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…
We review work on the link between academic achievement & creativity, developmental slumps, teachers' perspectives of creativity, studies on alternative-philosophy schools, and culturally & educationally diverse populations. We provide a framework linking these fields together
New OA paper out with the awesome Sarah Cutting in Educational Psychological Review - we dive deep to discuss and link disparate fields to shed light on whether schools are good or bad for children's creativity. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
