All are invited to join us for this upcoming mini-conference, hosted by the Graduate Program in Critical and Creative Thinking at UMass Boston. One of the defining features of the CCT program has always been the diversity of those in our community and the many ways that we express our support of critical and creative thinking in our workplaces, schools, and communities. Throughout the day, we will be hearing from graduates of the program and others about ways that we continue to pursue critical and creative thinking as a “work-in-progress” in our journeys as reflective practitioners and our efforts to engage in and foster critical thinking and creativity in our work and lives.
