This talk will show how creative ruptions – disturbances or commotions - can lead to the emergence of alternative educational futures. Professor Chappell will question current assumptions regarding how education is structured and enacted, and provide examples and tools for working with creative ruptions. She will explore how creative ruptions can respond to ‘wicked problems’ such as the climate emergency. Including consideration of how we can grow our emotional repertoires from anxiety to include hope and courage, the talk explores how creativity might expand our horizons of personal, social and political possibility that ultimately determine our education systems and their futures.
