Description: It’s a missing episode! This is an interview that is thanks to Expanding Horizons. Expanding Horizons is a Unitarian church radio show from South Australia, featured on Radio Adelaide 101.5 and hosted by Brian Menzies. With a wide range of topics and investigations, Brian was kind enough last year to call upon both Michael McRae and I to talk about our experiences as teachers and to address that tricky question: ‘What is critical thinking’? I thought this was a fun and insightful opportunity to address some of the misconceptions people have, that there’s a ’set’ definition of critical thinking, that it’s equivalent to skepticism and how there’s a lot going on out there that people might not know about. I hope you enjoy this addition to the podcast – and thanks again to Brian and the Expanding Horizons team, whose show you can find at their official site. Sorry about the picture – it’s the only one I have with Michael and myself; we’re at TAM5 with Matt Stone of South Park! Michael McRae's work can be found at Science By Email. Sites mentioned include the Australasian Home of Philosophy in Schools - at http://www.fapsa.org.au/ and the Critical Thinking Education Group - at http://www.criticalteaching.org/ My site is www.podblack.com.
