Research

My creativity focuses on patterns of thought that transcend boundaries between disciplines. These patterns emerge from teaching interdisciplinary courses and from dialogues with diverse people.

Evolution to a vision narrative perspective for teaching-learning also became the basis of a meta-scientific theory of creativity. Besides describing ways of overcoming stress, this theory describes experiential learning and describes transformational stages of human development that may lead to "emotionally intelligent" individualism. Emotional intelligence uses the seven aspects of creativity to prescribe participatory dialogue that may lead to collaborations.

I combine the above ideas with others to formulate the meta-pattern, cosmic narrative ecology.
