Tonight we think....

with the focus on creativity, community,



democracy and new forms of idea sharing.

(Thanks to Robert Kelly, Fine Arts, University of Calgary, for sharing this cool video inspired by Charles Leadbeater's new book, "We Think".)

Just off the press....Robert Kelly, as we speak, is creating a hot new book which will will examine the process of creativity (no small task) and idea generation and development.This book will target teachers and parents in accessible language presenting a case for creativity with close to 20 creative thinkers sharing their experiences and bearing witness to acts of creativity in practice. Now that's a progressive concept for a new book that could open the way for new methodologies, innovation and change. Congrats, Bob. Save a copy for me.

Humanities Scholar Helps Create Change Offers Thoughts on Digital Scholarship

"What is the value – to the humanities and to society – of more open scholarly communication? Open access removes barriers. I find this very politically attractive. The sharing of knowledge it allows helps us get at economic inequities – experienced both by smaller academic institutions and, of course, by developing countries. Everybody wins. More access and resource sharing lead to a democratized diffusion of knowledge. "
