Should the pursuit of social justice form part of the core mission of higher education? Why or why not?
Group 1 will argue YES. Group 2 will argue NO. Both groups will draw upon the assigned readings to help them marshall their arguments. Groups 3 and 4 will read the assigned texts carefully, too, so that they're prepared to ask engaged and thoughtful questions.
Speaking of the readings: they're on Blackboard, in the "Content" folder, inside which is another folder, labeled "Social Justice and Higher Ed."
Also, to see who's on what team, what the debate schedule is, and what format they'll take, click on the "Debate" tab.
Finally, please note that these debates are group projects whose success depends on you and your capacity to work together to take responsibility for class discussion. Debate Groups should get together well in advance to hammer out strategies, assign roles, etc., so that you're ready to hit the ground running once class starts.
