What will we do?

Street Epistemology is a way of applying a set of philosophy and psychology-based tools through civil conversation to help ourselves and others critically reflect on the quality of the reasoning one uses to justify their level of confidence that a claim is true.

We will watch a talk introducing SE, try the technique out in pairs and finally discuss our thoughts, future application etc.
