Section Description
In this course, students will gain a greater understanding of complex issues that affect their communities by engaging in dialogic learning with classmates through organized, academic debates on social justice topics. The course uses academic debate to challenge current and future thought leaders to consider issues of justice in relation to the distribution of wealth, opportunity, and privilege in U.S. society. The course will draw on the 2024-2025 Social Justice Debates topic and integrate in-depth learning on current social justice topics while teaching students to critically engage through the practice of debate. Besides the Social Justice topic, we will engage with other important and relevant issues of contention in the public sphere.
