Our aim is not to debate the finer points of the article here, but to build on the important recognition of Torrance's work and its relevance for society today in the broader creativity field. In the spirit of Appreciative Inquiry, we are focusing on what works and what's good to advance the cause of creativity, while recognizing there are other aspects to debate or improve. Thanks for continuing this important conversation and raising worthwhile dialogue -- all of which is well overdue in this country.Steven Dahlberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904517185847830606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626113.post-86802633758694972562010-07-28T09:48:15.887-04:002010-07-28T09:48:15.887-04:00Hi Alan - The National Creativity Network is somet...Hi Alan - The National Creativity Network is something that will be launched at the World Creativity Forum in November. It's just been created, and I don't think there is much out there yet.
