Tamara Rodney, an EdD student in Transformative Learning in the Global Community program, co-edited a book published by Palgrave MacMillan. Titled 鈥淐reativity and Learning: Navigating Transformative Perspectives for Complex and Contemporary Environments,鈥� was co-edited with Andreia Valquaresma from Portugal and Luciana Dantas de Paula from Brazil.

This collaborative achievement stems from Rodney鈥檚 engagement with transformative learning and creativity. In 2022, she co-presented with Dr. Yin Lam Lee-Johnson, Director of the EdD program, during Webster Geneva鈥檚 Creativity Week. Their presentation served as the foundation for their co-authored book chapter,鈥�鈥淧ushing the Boundaries of White Colonial Epistemologies to Create Transformative Learning Experiences.鈥� Rodney also co-authored the introduction chapter with her co-editors of the book. Dr. Vlad Glaveanu, a key convener of Creativity Week and the editor of Palgrave Macmillan鈥檚 book series, cultivated the new publication in collaboration with Rodney and her co-editors.

鈥淎s an emerging scholar, the editorial process provided an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with peers and seasoned academics, exploring the transformative nature of creativity in depth,鈥� Rodney said. 鈥淭his immersive scholarly experience transcended the boundaries of the classroom, embodying the essence of interdisciplinary and global learning. Pursuing 黑料网's EdD in Transformative Learning in the Global Community has been a truly transformative journey, enriched by diverse experiences that reflect the program's global ethos.鈥�
