I received an email today that tickled me pink because it included me in a group the author described as the "Creative Cluster". Very cool! Anyway, the email was a forward of a call for submissions for an event titled Creativity: Worlds in the Making that is being put on by the Wake Forest University Office of Entrepreneurship and Liberal Arts and the Program for Creativity and Innovation. Here’s the overview from the submission page:
This interactive symposium is designed to position creative engagement
as a core literacy in today’s global environment and to model fresh,
critical perspectives for creative research, collaboration and
outcomes, between and among diverse disciplines and communities. The
objective of the symposium is to stimulate new thinking about what
creativity is, how it is practiced across cultural domains and what its
potential applications can be, especially in relation to humane and
sustainable outcomes and impact. Diverse perspectives from the arts,
humanities, sciences and entrepreneurship will pose questions and
challenges about the role that creativity plays in higher education and
in society through its capacity to shape dynamic and interdependent
future ‘worlds’. The interactive format of “Creativity: Worlds in the
Making” combines keynote speakers, traditional panel presentations,
innovative performance and exhibitions with participatory working
sessions.
If you can get your head around that then I encourage you to submit. Deadline for submissions is October 15, 2008 and the actual event is scheduled for March 18-20, 2009.
