For generations, Irish universities have been places of debate, critical thinking and challenging established ideas. Students have played a major role in political and social movements — from the revolutionary period to anti-war, anti-apartheid and education protests. But are our universities still encouraging young people to question accepted wisdom — and to challenge ideas they disagree with? Critical thinking is the ability to question information, examine the evidence, spot assumptions and biases, and reach a reasoned conclusion rather than simply accepting something as true. In short: Don't just ask “What do I think?” — ask “Why do I think it, and is the evidence good enough?” It's a point I put to Noel Buckley earlier this week, and I'm delighted to be joined by Alice Leahy from the Alice Leahy Trust now...
