University of Toronto Professor Leigh Revers and Peter Boghossian discuss challenges in STEM education, including the integration of indigenous science and the use of diversity criteria in academic evaluations.

Leigh highlights the need for academic rigor and criticizes oversimplified teaching methods, emphasizing the importance of maintaining intellectual diversity in education. His experience with this is firsthand - this year, the University of Toronto Mississauga sanctioned him for using Spectrum Street Epistemology in the classroom.

Leigh Revers is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Manage­ment & Innov­ation at the Univers­ity of Toronto Mississauga.
