ABSTRACT

Alex Gillespie: Each of the forgoing chapters has advanced differing aspects of the cultural psychology of creativity. In this final chapter we aim both to synthesize what has been written and also catalyze future directions for research. To achieve this aim, we are harnessing the creative potential of social processes by jointly writing the chapter as a dialogue. The questions addressed will be first, what is creativity from a cultural standpoint, and second, what implications might this standpoint have for intervention, methodology, and future research.
