Creativity in Drawing and What It Means to be a Creative Political Scientist

Grady and Paige interview one another on Creativity in Drawing and Creativity in Political Science. Is drawing a truly subjective experience? Is it something that some people are inherently "better" at than other people? Paige explains how drawing ability can rely on both talent and cultivation. The magic comes from working on your craft in a nurturing environment. Paige describes how she uses her bullet journal to doodle while listening in class and taking good notes. Grady discusses how partisan politics might be addressed through creative management and response. Partisan politics oftentimes is about groupthink and fierce defense of positions, rather than critical and creative thinking and problem-solving. We need to use our creativity to bring people together to solve the grand challenges of our time.
