On today’s episode, Higher Ed Now producer Doug Sprei interviews Jennifer Keohane, associate professor in the Klein Family School of Communications Design at the University of Baltimore, and Justin Eckstein, associate professor of communication at Pacific Lutheran University. Both of these remarkable professors advise and support the College Debates and Discourse (CD&D) Alliance, a joint initiative between ACTA, Braver Angels, and BridgeUSA. This conversation was captured in March 2024 during the Wang Center Symposium at Pacific Lutheran University, where the CD&D Alliance engaged more than 400 students and local community members in a dozen campus and classroom debates.
