Upside Down Thinking is both a mindset and a tool that we can use to challenge the things that are so true for us that we don’t even question them anymore. It is a cognitive-creative methodology and is about more than crafting inquiry; it goes further to pose new realities or potential realities that run contrary to how we think and how we see our own identities within the context of our work.
