CREATIVE EDUCATION Volume 1 Series Editors: Michael A. Peters & Tina Besley, University of Waikato, New Zealand Editorial Advisory Board: Daniel Araya, University of Illinois, USA Ronald Barnett, London Institute of Education, UK Jonathan Beller, The Pratt Institute, USA Peter Murphy, James Cook University, Australia Simon Marginson, University of Melbourne, Australia Brian Opie, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Peter Roberts, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Susanne Maria Weber, University of Marburg, Germany Scope: The knowledge, learning and creative economies manifest the changing significance of intellectual capital and the thickening connections between economic growth, knowledge and creativity. Increasingly economic and social activity is comprised by the ‘symbolic’ or ‘weightless’ economy with its iconic, immaterial and digital goods. This new digital knowledge economy includes new international labor that rely on developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) that are changing the format, density and nature of the exchange and flows of knowledge, research and scholarship. Delivery modes in education are being reshaped. New global cultures of knowledge and research networks are spreading rapidly. New forms of openness and networking, cross-border people movement, flows of capital, portal cities and intensive development zones all are changing the conditions of imagining and producing and the sharing of creative work in different spheres. At the centre of is the economy/ creativity nexus. But are education systems, institutions, assumptions and habits positioned and able so as to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges? This new series investigates all the aspects of education in (and as) the creative economy in order to extend the dialogue about the relationship between contemporary higher education and the changing face of contemporary economies.
