Recently there has been a sharp decline in critical thinking – listening thoughtfully and evaluating different points of view objectively on an issue. Rather, partisan and often uncivil tribal loyalty is dominating the discourse, and Americans are more and more getting their information and opinions from media vehicles that already agree and reinforce their going-in opinions. Other points of view are ignored.

Each session of this year’s Series will demonstrate critical thinking in action by presenting debates between speakers representing different views on the following topics:

July 11: Freedom of Speech
Speakers: Owen Fiss, Akhil Reed Amar
Moderator: David Bisno

July 18: Gun Rights
Speakers: Joseph Blocher, Erin Murphy
Moderator: John Garvey

July 25: Affirmative Action
Speakers: Linda Chavez, Neil Katyal
Moderator: Daniel Benjamin

August 1: Freedom of the Press
Speakers: RonNell Andersen Jones, Andy Phillips
Moderator: Richard Tofel

August 8: Individual Privacy
Speakers: Jennifer Daskal, Neil Richards
Moderator: Peter Teachout

August 15: Voting Rights
Speakers: Debo Adegbile, Bradley Smith
Moderator: John Greabe
