DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CompMath/15/
 ">The interplay between two opposing perspectives on creativity</a>\nby Br
 oni Czarnocha and Malgorzata Marciniak (Hostos CC of the City University o
 f New York and LaGuardia CC of the City University of New York) as part of
  Relatorium seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn our presentation\, we will explore a
  dialogue between two somewhat contrasting perspectives on creativity. One
  speaker will present the concept of Teaching-Research as a manifestation 
 of creative practice\, while the other will examine the interplay between 
 the conscious and subconscious mind\, highlighting both the boundaries and
  the connections that shape the creative process.\n\nBroni: Creativity of 
 Mathematics Teaching-Research.\nIn general\, creativity\, and especially t
 he creativity of Aha! Moment (called bisociation by Koestler (1964t)) take
 s a place within two unconnected matrices of thought joined together by th
 e insight. Czarnocha and Baker (2021) abstracted these two matrices to the
  concept of the bisociative frame\, and we used it as the tool to find are
 as of enhanced creativity within different theories and practices of teach
 ing.\nTeaching and research constitute such a frame\, taking into account 
 a very meager connection between them\, and because of that the creative T
 R methodology is so promising. The presentation will provide an example of
  creativity while practicing TR methodology.\n\nMalgorzata: Creativity as 
 a collaboration between conscious and subconscious\nIn my work\, creativit
 y is viewed as a dynamic\, cyclical process involving alternating phases o
 f conscious and subconscious activity. This aligns with Graham Wallas’ s
 tages: preparation\, incubation\, illumination\, and reflection\, outlined
  in The Art of Thought (Wallace\, 1926). Over time\, this cycle mirrors th
 e state of flow described by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity: Flow a
 nd the Psychology of Discovery and Invention (1996). Conscious phases invo
 lve deliberate effort\, analysis\, and reflection\, while subconscious pha
 ses are more elusive\, yet crucial. The most intriguing moments occur duri
 ng spontaneous shifts between phases\, when conscious and subconscious pro
 cesses interact\, offering insights that feel both intentional and mysteri
 ously emergent.\n\nThis conversation will be moderated by Ted Theodosopoul
 os.  Ted is a mathematician who\, after working for years in academia and 
 industry\, transitioned to teaching at the pre-college level sixteen years
  ago\, the last eight at Nueva\, where he teaches math and economics.  Ted
 ’s research background is in the area of interacting stochastic systems\
 , with particular applications in biology and economics.\n
