Elizabeth Jackson, Tracey Nicholls

Published: 2012-04-27

Dr. Elizabeth Jackson engages in a telematic interview with ICASP post-doctoral fellow Dr. Tracey Nicholls of Lewis University. Dr Nicholls identifies fundamental principles of improvisation in relationship to ethics and politics more broadly conceived. The principles identified are also discussed in regards to pedagogical methods, notions of justice vs. charity and conceptions of the future (rusty vs. shiny).
