Hi Came across following article describing work by a science historian under the rubric of "agnotology" (study of ignorance) that clearly overlaps with interest in critical thinking, debunking, and the like in psychology.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160105-the-man-who-studies-the-spread-of-ignorance Here's an intro to Proctor's book on the subject. http://www.colorado.edu/philosophy/hale/ENVS5200/Agnotology-Introduction.pdf Proctor has a few references in PsycInfo, three on tobacco and one on eugenics, which probably overlaps with psychology in other ways as well (e.g., evolutionary psychology). New to me, but perhaps not others.
