  • Giftedness is a surprisingly complex, multidimensional construct. This chapter discusses the importance of macro contexts, specifically the ways in which they can influence our thinking about giftedness and talent development and some ways that they invigorate, suppress, and distort the development of gifted young people. These macro contexts include the socioeconomic, ideological, cultural, and technological environments that shape the thoughts and actions of individuals, groups, and nations. The chapter then presents examples of interdisciplinary projects that have informed the field in recent years. These projects include analyses of the impact of 21st-century globalization and the skills gifted and talented young people will need to navigate the complex environments of the near future. The analysis then turns to more in-depth discussions of the importance of borrowing from other disciplines to clarify, refine, and extend the conceptual foundations for gifted education and to enrich practical teaching strategies in the field. Finally, the chapter provides some recommendations for additional interdisciplinary work, along with some concluding thoughts about the nature of giftedness and talent in the early 21st century.

  • Wisdom always has been important in human thought and action, especially its ethical component, but it has become far more important in the context of twenty-first century globalization, which features highly complex, turbulent socioeconomic conditions and technological developments. To what extent does gifted education address wisdom? In order to keep the scope of the analysis within reason, this chapter focuses most of the attention on the ethical dimensions of wisdom, which are many and diverse. Some of the specific topics addressed by scholars who explore giftedness and talent development include the lack of fit between ethical thought and action; the importance of ethics in the development of gifted young people due to their impressive cognitive capacities; social-emotional influences on ethical behavior; and problems arising from the ways in which general education does not address the needs of the gifted. It is obvious that investigators studying giftedness have explored a wide variety of topics relevant to wisdom but there are some topics that are especially pertinent. These include some turbulent intrapersonal, psychological dynamics; programming specifically designed to strengthen wisdom; moral reasoning, global awareness, and character education; and the ethical dilemma of socioeconomic inequality.
