Isaac Armitage Lecture 2024
AND, NOT, OR, WITH: the good in education
Speaker: Dr Paul Burgis
Respondent: Dr Kaye Chalwell
Dr Burgis will speak to introduce ideas from his upcoming book.
‘What is called The Enlightenment has given humanity many new capacities. STEM programs flourish in schools and provide a framework for critical thinking. This is largely based on the word NOT. We are teaching students that all is not as it seems. We must probe deeper. This is important. Yet NOT is not the only important conjunction for thinking. Magnanimity and generosity are at the heart of learning. AND, OR and WITH also matter. And they matter to Christian educators, who sometimes find themselves as the object of the NOT claims.’
Dr Chalwell’s response will be followed by general discussion.
