Headagogy with Steve Pearlman

Headagogy is hosted by Steven J. Pearlman, Ph.D., founder of The Critical Thinking Initiative, author of America’s Critical Thinking Crisis, and educator of 30+ years. In the words of the host:

Headagogy disrupts the soft-spoken, NPR-esque mold of podcasts for educators. Headagogy does justice to the vibrant, challenging, meaningful, frustrating, empowering, complicated, fulfilling thing that is teaching, as well as the hardworking, dedicated, heartfelt, and (too often) pissed-off people who are teachers. Headagogy is ferociously serious but not one iota less sardonic, controversial, and fed up with rampant anti-intellectualism and the flagrant disrespect for education and educators. 

It was formerly called the Critical thinking Initiative podcast, and its episodes are focused are this theme. Pearlman has excellent guests who address critical thinking and education through a variety on lenses. Some of the episodes include:

• How humans learn
• Fighting fake news: the critical thinking rabbit-hole
• Getting thoughtful about mindfulness education.
