Summary:

Finding the term critical thinking being used both more often and more widely in academic and political discourse, Moore (applied linguistics, Swinburne U. of Technology, Australia) investigates what it means to individual academics who are teaching in different disciplines, whether there are disciplinary variations, and what the implications may be for teaching critical thinking in the university. The disciplines he examines are the ones of particular relevance to his own teaching: philosophy, history, and literary/cultural studies. He combines interviews with textual analysis to look at how the term is talked about by academics and how it is constructed in a range of texts used in teaching.
