hello

I'm Jessica, a senior English and Theater major at Bryn Mawr.  I have no background in the sciences, natural or social, and I'm here to see if there are any interesting empirical reality-based observations to make about education, somethings I already care about/value, or think I might have some ideas about.  I guess my background, or special interest, in education comes from an interest in making art, and the questions that arise, especially working in collaborative contexts, about where creativity comes from, how it can be encouraged/engaged in others, if it can be taught?  The presumption I bring to the table is that the best kind of education is the kind that can transform students from passive receptacles of knowledge/values into creative/critical thinkers.  There's something wonderful, and kind of miraculous about that transformation to me, and I'm interested in finding a way to illuminate the process a little bit.
