4: The #ART OFACADEMICS with Prof Bill Lucas, Co-Chair of the OECD PISA Creative Thinking Committee
<div>"I like university professors, but we shouldn't hold them up as the high watermark of all human achievement. They're just a form of life; another form of life. <br>
<br>
But they're rather curious, and I say this out of affection for them. There's something curious about professors, in my experience; not all of them, but typically - they live in their heads. <br>
<br>
They live up there and slightly to one side. <br>
<br>
They're disembodied in a kind of literal way. <br>
<br>
They look upon their body as a form of transport for their heads, don't they? <br>
<br>
It's a way of getting their head to meetings."<br>
<br>
Said Sir Ken Robinson in his No 1 TED Talk on how schools can kill creativity, so what better intro to our #ARTCONNECTS podcast with a man, a dad, a professor who is similarly inspiring, grounded and globally impactful in his role as Co-Chair of the OECD PISA committee for Creative Thinking.<br>
