Dr. John M. Kephart III, Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Director of Forensics at California State University, Northridge, will talk about recent trends in educational debating activities in the U.S. in relation to an issue of accommodating diversities and empowering academically less privileged students in traditionally elitist activities of competitive debating.
