Mr. Rush Cosgrove

Mr. Rush Cosgrove is Historian for the Foundation for Critical Thinking and is engaged in research for a PhD at the University of Cambridge. He holds Masters degrees from both the University of Oxford, New College and the University of Cambridge, Darwin College. He has conducted research on critical thinking and the Oxford Tutorial and is current conducting research on the Paulian Framework for critical thinking as contextualized at the University of Louisville. He conducts workshops in critical thinking for both faculty and students, in both English and Spanish.

Mr. Cosgrove has a unique background. He is one of very few students who have been systematically taught critical thinking from the age of 10. It was at this age that he was taken from the main stream of instruction and put into an independent study program designed and supervised by Drs. Paul and Elder. Approximately half of his classes were taken under this model. The remainder of his high school credits came from enrolling in college classes. After graduating from Sonoma State University, Mr. Cosgrove was awarded a fellowship at the Foundation for Critical Thinking.

Mr. Cosgrove is highly effective in conducting workshops in critical thinking for both faculty and students. He has presented workshops on topics which include the Foundations of Critical Thinking, How to Improve Student Learning from a Student Perspective, Critical Thinking In Everyday Life, Critical Thinking and Biology, Critical Thinking and Astronomy, and Historical Thinking. He has taught numerous workshops on critical thinking in Spanish for both students and faculty at Mexican schools, colleges, and universities, including the Universidad de Las Americas, Puebla, Instituto Technologico Agropecuario, Torreon, Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, Ensenada. He serves as a major presenter at the International Conference on Critical Thinking each year. Mr. Cosgrove is an articulate spokesperson for critical thinking both in teaching and learning.
