Introduction, Theory, and the Media-Education Landscape

Abstract

It is time to imagine an education system that, rather than hindering, nurtures and encourages creativity. The research outlined in this book acknowledges the limitations of knowledge and the opportunities for different perspectives and approaches. More importantly, it ‘recognizes that not-knowing is a fundamental starting point for creativity’ (Seel 2012: 835). In the end, knowledge has to be about choices, and therefore about innovation, imagination, and possibilities (Wallerstein 2004: 56).
