Loving or Fearing Creativity? It’s all in the Definition

Volume 11 No 2 (2013)

Marta Davidovich Ockuly and Ruth Richards

Abstract

How do we make creativity a bigger part of our lives? This article begins with mentorship at Saybrook, and how at best this can open people’s minds to love of learning, and finding one’s own creative path, rather than fear of how “one is doing” while following someone else’s well-worn trajectory. The article then moves to an original inquiry initiated by the first author as first-year doctoral student, out of concern for developing love of creativity (rather than fear) in her own students.
