Eva is a lecturer in the School of Education at Western Sydney University with a passion for classroom ethnography. Her main research work concerns creative development, with a special focus on collective creativity (e.g. shared creative writing, collaborative creative design or musically inspired imagination). Currently, she is exploring the embodied, affective dimensions of learning, which she refers to as ‘thinking through presence’. Her philosophy centres around the vision of the mind that is deeply rooted in embodied experience where mutually receptive-responsive dialogue is at the heart of human habitat making, learning, creativity and compassionate, natural sense. She has been collaborating with the Liszt Academy of Music in Hungary, researching the alternative music pedagogy developed by the late Klara Kokas. She is a regular reviewer and guest-editor for the Journal of Thinking Skills and Creativity.
Eva is presenting a paper on:
