Maxwell Auditorium

Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar

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.
