For everyone who is planning to attend, please answer this one poll question about how familiar you are with SE: https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Street-Epistemology/polls/1230863/
This is a casual social get-together for people who are interested in Street Epistemology. We'll learn more about SE, share our successes and failures, and have fun.
Why SE? Because beliefs that are not based on sound reasoning and evidence, including those in religion, pseudoscience, politics, and more, can occur at an alarming rate in our friends, family, community, and ourselves. While debate and presenting evidence can be effective when one is open to it, in other cases it can backfire, strengthening the belief even more (Nyhan & Reifler, Political Behavior, 2010: 32,[masked]).
Street Epistemology is an approach for having meaningful, respectful, and productive conversations that help people re-examine the processes they use to come to knowledge, become more reflective about their beliefs, and break through dogmatism.

We're mostly skeptics and atheists, but all are welcome and encouraged to join us.
