Event Description
An event connecting instructors who teach critical thinking at the college and university level, to advocate for course content that promotes rational skepticism, and to encourage further study of best practices in the pedagogy of teaching such courses. By "rational skepticism" we refer to the practice of evaluating evidence for claims before taking a position. It generally involves investigating claims that go beyond mainstream established science, including pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and the like. This often requires us to challenge false beliefs. In higher education, we may use rational skepticism as a form of critical thinking.
Event Information
Open to all students, faculty, and staff employed at a higher education institute; registration required. For more information, please visit the event webpage.
Hosted by the Lilienfeld Alliance for the Teaching of Rational Skepticism in Higher Education.
