Dave Carillo — Co-Founder of The Critical Thinking Initiative Bounded Context

How do we define critical thinking? Apply it? Learn it? Can we teach students and adults how to think more critically? In Episode 27, Dave Carillo joins Ryan Shriver to answer these questions and so much more. 

Dave is Co-Founder of one of the country’s first academic offices devoted solely to studying critical thinking and raising critical thinking outcomes. He served as the lead administrator of the Interdisciplinary Writing and Reasoning Portfolio, has been published by The Hill, and is a critical thinking subject matter expert (SME) for the U.S. military. Dave lives in West Hartford, CT with his wife and two children.
