On teaching creativity

In this episode I have a eulogy for my teaching mentor. He was there for me. Young man, is how he referred to me, and to all the others. Big generous, supportive and what an appetite for risk taking. All his examples, nay metaphors, would be about climbing mountains. Don't look back. Hang on! And the laugh, that wave if the hand, so many memories.

Do you remember the first time you ever taught? My first teaching assignment was to teach creativity in a School of Architecture. Did the student love it? I am sure they hated it. Maybe it was just about me learning the ropes in this particular way. But then the 1980s were a different time. The university, the college, was a place of idealism and activism. Or so I had framed it.
