Dr. Amanda Bill, AUT Auckland
web
Amanda Bill is a sociologist of design. Her work challenges conventional ideas about creativity in the cultural economy by exploring how various understandings of creativity are put to work in different cultural and political contexts. She has researched the interplay between government, educational institution and industry expectations in the case of educating fashion designers. Amanda is particularly interested in studying creativity as a form of performative knowledge. She has a PhD. in Sociology and Women’s Studies from the University of Auckland, is a textile designer and has lectured in design since the inception of design degrees in New Zealand in the early 1990s. Formerly programme leader for the Massey Bachelor of Design in Textiles, she has also taught in visual communication, industrial, and fashion design programmes.
Prof. Dr. Nesta Devine, AUT Auckland

Associate
Professor Dr.
Nesta Devine heads the Centre for Research in Educational Leadership at
the
School of Education of Auckland University of Technology. She has
recently
served as Acting Deputy Dean (Postgraduate and Research) within the
Faculty of
Culture and Society at Auckland University of Technology. She is the
immediate
past President of the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia
(PESA).
Between 1999
and 2008)
Dr Devine was Senior Lecturer in Secondary Education and Professional
Practice,
in the Department of Professional Studies in Education, School of
Education,
University of Waikato. Before 1999 she was a teacher of History in
Auckland
secondary schools, mostly at multicultural high schools in West
Auckland.
Prof. Dr.
Nesta Devine
is very much interested in the topic of the response of universities to
the
challenges provided by minority peoples. Minority students and ideas can productively be seen as challenging because
their ways of seeing the world can open the ideas of the university
faculty
members to other ways of being, introducing conceptual innovation
particularly
in the field of the human sciences, including the field of education.
Prof. Nesta
Devine is
also interested in the effect of political economy and political theory
on
education and has published the book “Education and public choice, a
critical
account of the invisible hand in education in the book series of Henri
Giroux,
Connecticut, Praeger. She links this interest to the experience of
marginalised
people in the education world, and has consequently worked on
researching
prison education, eg.‘Prison education: a cautionary tale from the
murky world
of meta-analyses’ in Contemporary New Zealand Education policy (2010)
and as
well on
Her critique
of
neo-liberalism and interest in Maori and Pacific ways of thought has led her to publish Journal articles and
conference papers addressing the topic of individualism in many forms,
eg,‘Autonomy, agency and education’ (2006), and ‘Thinking past
methodological
individualism in the construction of the academic self’ (2012), and on
affect
and relationships in educational contexts (2013), using ideas from
Spinoza,
Deleuze, Hegel, Lacan.
She
is also interested in including indigenous and
migrant philosophies in the deep functioning of schools and in the
methodology
as well as the content of empirical research.
Prof. Dr. Michael Adrian Peters, Waikato University, Hamilton
web
In Creativity
and the
Global Knowledge Economy Prof. Dr. Michael Peters and his co-auhtors
laid
out the field of discussion in applied philosophy, policy, management
and
social science. He described the renewal of interest by politicians and
policy-makers worldwide in the related notions of creativity/discovery
and
innovation, with terms like the creative economy, knowledge economy,
enterprise
society, entrepreneurship, and national systems of innovation (Baumol
2002;
Cowen 2002; Lash & Urry 1994). In its rawest form, the notion of
the
creative economy emerges from a set of claims that suggests that the
Industrial
Economy is giving way to the Creative Economy based on the growing
power of
ideas and virtual value—the turn from steel and hamburgers to software
and
intellectual property (Florida 2002; Howkins 2001; Landry 2000). In
this
context, policy increasingly latches on to the issues of copyright as
an aspect
of IP, piracy, distribution systems, network literacy, open systems,
the
creative industries, new interoperability standards, the WIPO, and the
development agenda, WTO and trade, and means to bring creativity and
commerce
together (Cowen 2002; Shapiro & Varian 1998; Davenport & Beck
2001;
Gordon 1996; Hughes 1977; Lemley 2005; Wagner 2003; Weinstock 1996). At
the
same time, this focus on creativity has exercised strong appeal to
policy-makers
who wish to link education more firmly to new forms of capitalism
emphasizing
how creativity must be taught, how educational theory and research can
be used
to improve student learning in mathematics, reading, and science, and
how
different models of intelligence and creativity can inform educational
practice
(Blythe 2000). Here creative education also intersects with
developments in
neuroscience.
These issues
were further
explored in Education and the Creative Economy. Under the spell of the
creative economy discourse, there has been a flourishing of new
accelerated
learning methodologies together with a focus on giftedness and the
design of
learning programs for exceptional children (Center for Accelerated
Learning).
One strand of the emerging literature highlights the role of the
creative and
expressive arts, of performance, of aesthetics in general, and the
significant
role of design as an underlying infrastructure for the creative economy
(Caves
2000; Frey 2000; Frey & Pommerehne 1989; Ginsburgh & Menger
1996;
Heilbrun & Gray 2001; Hesmondhalgh 2002).
In Global
Creation: Space,
Mobility and Synchrony in the Age of the Knowledge Economy, a book that
is
a study in history and cultural sociology, Prof. Dr. Peters and his
co-authors
talked about the global dimension of activity as a created product in
itself
and of the formation of the global dimension of knowledge and of the
research
university – and the manner in which relations at a distance, openness
in
social and economic relations, and evolving forms of mobility and
communicative
synchrony have played a key role in the fluorescence of creative
societies,
including the ancient Greeks, different parts of Europe from the
Renaissance to
the present, littoral East Asia and Australasia, and the United States.
In
Imagination:
Three Models of Imagination in the Age of the Knowledge Economy,
drawing on
philosophy, educational studies, history and cultural sociology, the
emphasis
shifted to acts of imagining and creativity, especially acts of
discovery.
Though commercial applications of knowledge are flourishing, stellar
conceptual
advances – the source of future innovations and applications - might
have
thinned (for example as evidenced by trends in patents per 100,000
population,
and the dating of key advances in creative fields), which raises
questions
about the well-springs and conditionalities of creativity. Part of the
discussion evaluated the contemporary research university. This pointed
on one
hand to the extraordinary organizational innovations and fecundities of
the
university (for example the advance of global relations in and through
education and research in the last two decades, and the manner in which
these
are imagined), on the other hand to doubts about its capacity as a
carrier of
discovery. Prof. Michael Peters analyzed the potential for remaking
education
as a site of creativity and of learning for creativity.NETHERLANDS
