about me
Classically educated my modus operandi is the Socratic method (also known as maieutic). This is a method of elenchus, a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions.
This can be achieved when one, developmentally, is beginning to question ideas and stereotypes, and truly enjoys a debate or an argument.
I have earned a PhD in Psychology and Clinical Languages Sciences from University of Reading which focused on psychology of language, neurolinguistics and developmental studies. Author of a range of articles and publications both academic and extracurricular.
