Speaker: Dr. Thomas Nielsen, 2006 Visiting Scholar, IERG
Topic:
Rudolf Steiner's ideas on imagination differs somewhat from the normal view of imagination (if there is such a thing!). In this seminar by visiting professor, Dr Thomas Nielsen, an alternative pedagogy of imagination is introduced, drawing especially upon his empirical study of imaginative teaching in Australian Waldorf schools.
About Thomas:
Dr Thomas William Nielsen is a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Education at the University of Canberra, Australia, where he teaches behaviour management and educational philosophy. His Ph.D. was a hermeneutic phenomenological case study of imaginative teaching in Steiner schools, contextualised through an examination of the holistic tradition in education.
