An interview with the BQ founders - Part three of a five-part series. Part 3 - What is your hope for BQ in the future? In this episode, we go back in time to when Burning Questions first started. Joffy Conolly, Sharanya Menon, and William LaFleur are previous Education and Globalisation (EdGlo) students who were the first event organizers of Burning Questions. They talk about how they wish to see a future where an event such as BQ, which questions basic assumptions of education, is not seen as out of the ordinary but are seen as the norm. They touch down on the importance of critical thinking, which has been significantly lacking in today's industrialized education systems.
