Book Series Foreword
The goal of the book series, Creativity Theory and Action in Education, is to explore
new frontiers in creative theory, research, and practice in educational settings. The
series therefore endeavors to provide an international forum for thinkers from vari-
ous disciplinary and methodological perspectives to build on existing work in the
field and offer new, alternative, and even speculative directions for creative theory,
research, and practice in education.
In this way, the series is a creative experiment of sorts, one that is aimed at pro-
viding an opportunity for those engaged and interested in the broader project of
understanding creativity in education to generate, develop, test out, and learn from
new possibilities and multiple perspectives on all manner of creative phenomena in
education. Such an experiment has potential implications for how we think about
creativity in education and also for how we act on creative opportunities afforded by
educational situations and settings.
