Current Projects and Professional Activities
Empirical and theoretical research on creativity. My work (e.g., Editor of the Creativity Research Journal, and co-editor, with Steve Priztker, of the Encyclopedia of Creativity) requires that I consider all perspectives on the topic. My own empiricial research is cognitive and developmental.

Research Interests
I am primarily interested in supporting the theory of "personal creativity," which acknowledges the potential for creative work and everyday creativity (and is contrary to product- or eminent-views). I am also continuing my studies of divergent thinking.
