creative scholarship

Creative scholarship is the practice of producing new knowledge through imaginative and innovative approaches within academic research. It combines rigorous inquiry with originality, often involving the creation of new theories, methods, or interpretations that advance understanding in a field. Unlike traditional scholarship that emphasizes replication or summary, creative scholarship emphasizes originality and the development of fresh ideas, methodologies, or forms of expression, such as artistic projects, performances, or multimedia works, all while maintaining scholarly standards. It fosters innovation by blending critical thinking with creative exploration, contributing both academically and culturally.
