The Campbell Public Affairs Institute at
the Maxwell School of Syracuse University announces the next installment
of The Campbell Debates, a debate series on timely issues of public
importance.
Employing a style adapted from the Oxford Union
debates, each Campbell Debate will allow a gathered audience to consider
a question of national, regional or local significance. Two panels
comprised of thought leaders will argue for each side, followed by
counterpoints and audience questions and comments. At the conclusion of
the debate, the audience will vote on the proposition by walking out
one of two doors. The format aims to showcase a lively, informative
exchange of ideas on controversial issues in a way not common to
contemporary American political debates.
