Debate as Global Pedagogy: Rwanda Rising illustrates that the
teaching of debate offers an ideal educational approach for the
prevention and remediation of genocide. As the antithesis of
propaganda, debate and argument instruction promotes the critical
thinking necessary to resist processes of propaganda that enable
injustice and human rights abuses. Case studies of argumentation
instruction and deliberative forums worldwide demonstrate how
environments of discursive complexity can be fostered through
education in debate and argumentation. The central example of
Rwanda recovering from genocide in 1994 with help from innovative
pedagogy by iDebate Dreamers Academy provides a model for how
argumentation instruction can reduce and prevent social injustices.
