“…As part of a fierce commitment to identifying ways in which creativity can support a more just and equitable future, we argue that although the straightforward connection between academic achievement and creativity is important, the potentially strongest boon may lie in creativity’s role in striving for equity. This possibility has been discussed elsewhere (see Corazza et al, in press; Kaufman, 2010; Luria et al, 2016, 2017; Luria & Kaufman, 2017) and we will provide a brief recap and expansion of this existing work.…”

Creativity is largely seen as a positive construct, but there is room to deepen, document, and specify its impact on beneficial outcomes. Past research has identified academic achievement and mental health as areas of interest; we build and expand off of such work to suggest creativity may have a particularly strong connection to equity and meaning-making. With the aim of increasing creativity’s appeal to decision-makers and resource allocators, we offer specific suggestions and potential agenda items for future research, scholarship, and policy.

This article introduces the concept of transformational creativity, which is creativity that is deployed to make a positive, meaningful, and potentially enduring difference to the world. Transformational creativity is compared to transactional creativity, which is creativity deployed in search of a reward, whether externally or internally generated. The article also discusses different kinds of transactional and transformational creativity. For example, some transactional creativity is inert, meaning that it never comes to fruition. Transformational creativity can be directed inward, outward, or both ways. The article also discusses pseudo-transformational creativity, which is offered by the creator as making the world a better place, when in fact its goal is to improve the lot of the person who is pseudo-transformationally creative. Many charismatic leaders are pseudo-transformational autocrats. It is concluded that, at this point in time, the world desperately needs the work of transformationally creative individuals.
