LiliCon 2027 is the fourth annual meeting of the Lilienfeld Alliance. It is an interdisciplinary gathering of those who teach critical thinking in higher education. Community partners in this work with an interest in this topic are invited to join. We are especially interested in refutation as a teaching strategy. By “refutation” we mean the practice of investigating common sense, pseudoscience, scams, conspiracy theories (and more) to explore how critical thinking can be used to identify false claims. This is an opportunity to explore the pedagogy of critical thinking, to discuss how we teach, what false beliefs we tackle and why, and what strategies we use to assess the effectiveness of our teaching.
