Wonder with Dr. Andy Norman: a professor, philosopher, and award-winning author whose work grapples with morality, reason, and how humans form beliefs. His latest book, Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think, explores the roots of the partisan rancor and conspiratorial thought that roils public life — and often, public schools. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Norman, whose strategies for spotting and removing bad ideas have been called “just what humanity needs.”
