Episode 5.8: Jason Dykstra — Teaching Creativity

What role does creativity play in our lives? Meet Jason Dykstra (https://bit.ly/3Goymbl), a member of the band The Plagiarists and visiting faculty and director of University of Idaho’s Housing Clinic. The Boise law professor studies why creativity is important — in life, and in law. As shown by a creativity test designed for the Apollo space program, people begin life as creative geniuses, only to see their creative roots shrink over time. But, as Dykstra and other researchers find, people can relearn creativity and make space to flex those muscles throughout their day-to-day lives. Visit our website go.uidaho.edu/thevandaltheory​.
