5. EPSY8160E: Special Topics-Everyday Creativity
Dr. Mark Runco
CRN 37610
Creative behavior contributes hugely to society, culture, progress, and advance. Its role in innovation is now widely recognized, and businesses and even governments are investing heavily into creativity for that reason. It is possible, however, that some forms of creativity are now receiving insufficient attention. These include Everyday creativity - the creativity involved in solving day-to-day problems and dealing with day-to-day hassles. Everyday creativity might not lead to a product and it might not lead to anything that is socially or professionally recognized. It is, however, quite important. After all, each of us has everyday experiences! This course explores what is known about everyday creativity. It contrasts everyday creativity with professional, Big C, world-shaking creativity. Connections to "personal creativity" and little c creativity are explored. Students are asked to examine their own experiences, as the course progresses, and to post ideas (via Discussion board) about how creativity is expressed everyday.
EPSY8160E: Special Topics-Social Contexts of Creativity
Dr. Mark Runco
CRN 37611
"Social Contexts of Creativity" will examine the impact of social expectations, interactions, settings, and relationships on the development and expression of creativity. It will explore research on all social levels, including the home, schools, and businesses and organizations, but also the more general social contexts of culture and community. Assignments will be drawn from the academic creativity literature. This is, however, a creative class, therefore an extended amount of class time will be devoted to the examination of social expectations as they appear in popular media. Class members will participate in exercises that involve examining pop culture media such as film, television and social media in relationship to empirical research. Students will also examine stereotypical views of creative individuals in the media and how those ideas inform a variety of settings such as the home, school, organizations and community. Please contact Dr. Mark Runco ([log in to unmask]) with any questions.
