The Socratic method
Details
In this session we will discuss how the socratic method can help us to become better critical thinkers.
We will specifically be talking about the first 5 minutes of this video:

(note, we will not be watching the video during the session, so please watch the first 5 minutes before coming to the session)
We will be covering:
1. definitions
2. assumptions
3. biases
And if we have enough time, logical fallacies.
At the end of the session we should be able to view such films through a critical lens.
What to expect:
13:00 - introductions
13:05 - begin our discussion
14:45 - reflection and close
This will NOT be a lecture, but a collaborative experience where we discuss the common pitfalls we all fall into during discussions or when we see something on media.
