Details

Do algorithms promote inequity? What are the benefits and harms of social media? What can be done to tackle misinformation online? Come together with your fellow students for discussion and debate on these and other issues related to this year's Common Read: Weapons of Math Destruction.

Students will work in small groups to develop an argument related to the debate questions. All participants can contribute ideas and will select one group member to present their argument. No prior debate experience is required!

Prizes will be awarded for the winning individuals as voted by judges and peers. Competitors can win up to $100 Barnes and Noble gift cards! Food will be provided.

Sponsored by: Speech and Debate, Multicultural Resource Center, UDiversity Educational Institute, Scholars Program and Center for Civic Engagement.
