Contemporary challenges--such as climate change, food, energy and water security, and deadly virus transmission--demand that people think critically. While many societal challenges are seriously impacting local, regional and global communities, an increasing availability of information has contributed to what many call a "Post-Truth Era." We will consider the institutional use of post-truth a form of information weaponization. This course asks how information weaponization impacts the evaluation of valid lines of evidence and explanations. How do we evaluate and what is needed to improve individuals' evaluations of claims? This course will focus on mythological and unproductive thinking, increased digital literacy, enhanced reasoning, evaluation skills, and critical thinking.
