Students to take center stage in debate initiative
Published Jan 31, 2023
University debate director Louise Flavahan aims to turn tension into dialogue with a variety of moderated discussions hosted by the SNF Agora Institute, starting with a debate about voting rights Feb. 8. “It’s a controversial topic, but we’re not going for mudslinging. This is not Sunday morning TV,” Flavahan stresses. “We want to host rigorous academic debates where people respect each other and find points of overlap.”
