Research Interests
I am interested in virtually every aspect of creativity studies cutting across domains including the arts, business and education. Currently I am working on several projects involving film and creativity including editing special edition of a journal.
Research Expertise
My focus has primarily been centered on qualitative research. I have both practical and supervisory experience in grounded theory and case study methodology and experience working with virtually every form of qualitative research. My history as a professional writer and writing teacher is especially useful in terms of researching, outlining, organizing and effectively completing projects, theses and dissertations.
Expertise Working with Saybrook Students
A number of students whose dissertations I've chaired have published including Judith Kolva and Christina Robertson. I am working with a Saybrook student as second author on a book chapter and I am editing a journal edition which will articles from several Saybrook students.
