Introduction
Research is a problem-based learning activity that shapes critical and creative thinking.
Critical and creative thinking starts with a curious and open mind, and a willingness to look deeper and wider than those who explored this topic before.
We look deeply at sources, and the questions at the heart of those sources. We look widely to cross established boundaries of field, discipline, and culture. New questions emerge from our understanding of existing scholarship limitations.
