Abstract
Demonstrates how postsecondary teachers can engage the phenomenon of "post-truth," a concern in American discourse. Drawing on educational and cognitive psychology, human development, philosophy, and education, Carillo demonstrates foregrounding the practice of reading as an act of composing meaning and a strategy for navigating the current climate.--Provided by publisher.
