Introduction to Debate and Public Dialogue

This class is an introductory overview of the Socratic method, logos, pathos, and ethos, and how these are used by successful orators. We will spend the second half of the class facilitating a Mock Debate. Who will come out on top?!

Class Experience

Students will learn the basics of debate methodology and how to engage in constructive, effective public dialogue. This class lays the groundwork for students interested in taking more advanced debate classes (I offer a four-session advanced course, for example).
While in college, I was the Head Delegate to Harvard University’s annual international Model United Nations conference. My team also took home the winning title in the highly publicized Jerusalem and Athens Forum annual debate. Beyond undergraduate studies, I have continued to be a devout student of Plato’s accounts of Socrates as well as Aristotle, Aquinas, and other ancient and classic exceptional orators. In my work as a freelance web designer and copy writer, I have also helped several small businesses, nonprofits, and agencies to incorporate the concepts of effective oration and logic into their public materials.
