Egocentric much? How about sociocentric? It's human nature, folks! This week's episode delves into these two concepts and how they get in the way of thinking critically about our everyday lives and decisions. Brian and I give lots of examples from our own lives as we discuss how to monitor our own--and others--very human tendencies toward these thinking traps. We even bring in a local news event with our governor that made the rounds this week.

We discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics. All of it comes back to our ability to think about our own thinking.

Dr. Avery Kolers, professor of Philosophy and director of the Social Change program at UofL, joins us for a wide-ranging interview with Patty. Avery's research and teaching areas are quite broad and interesting--ranging from ethics to environmental justice, to political philosophy, to sex and values, to territorial rights and beyond. We explore how Avery engages his students in thinking about, and thinking through, such complex and deep topics and discuss what sparked his intellectual interests and how he keeps his work thriving.

The summer movie series continues this week with the 1960 flick "Where the Boys Are." Patty welcomes Kate Bringardner back into the studio for another critical thinking-laden discussion of a classic film. We look at assumptions related to gender roles, choices and attitudes about sex with a #metoo lens and question where things have really changed in almost 60 years of film and mass media "norms." Our bonus discussion is around the more recent documentary "God is Bigger Than Elvis" that reveals the story about how one of the film stars left Hollywood at her carer peak and became a nun--and why. So many provocative assumptions and points of view
