Conference Theme:
The Power of Critical Thinking
in Teaching and Learning

The Center and Foundation for Critical Thinking have together hosted critical thinking academies and conferences for more than three decades. During that time, we have played a key role in defining, structuring, assessing, improving and advancing the principles and best practices of fair-minded critical thought in education and in society. We invite you to join us for the 32nd International Conference on Critical Thinking.

Our annual conference provides a unique opportunity for you to improve your understanding of critical thinking, as well as your ability to more substantively foster it in the classroom and in all aspects of your work and life.

Main Conference Presenters include Foundation for Critical Thinking Fellows: Dr. Richard Paul, Dr. Linda Elder, Dr. Gerald Nosich, Dr. Enoch Hale and Mr. Rush Cosgrove.  The third day of the conference consists of concurrent sessions by invited presenters from institutions using our critical thinking model.
