Braver College Debate: Does religion have a place in higher education?
November 12 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Debate topic: Does religion have a place in higher education?
UNCG students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. CD&D Braver College Debates are not competitive, but provide a deep experience of civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary style, they teach students to engage with each other respectfully around difficult, polarizing issues. Students think together, listen carefully, and allow themselves to be touched and even changed by each other’s ideas. Participants emerge with greater empathy and appreciation for diversity of thought.
Sponsored by the Barnes Family Foundation, this collegiate debate is free and brought to you by the UNCG Politcal Science Department, the Triad Braver Angels Alliance, and the College Debates and Discourse Alliance, an American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) initiative that amplifies the power of free expression and promotes respectful exchange of ideas on America’s college campuses.
