In an era increasingly marked by polarized and unproductive
political debates, this volume makes the case for a renewed
emphasis on teaching speech and debate, both in and outside of the
classroom. Speech and debate education leads students to better
understand their First Amendment rights and the power of speaking.
It teaches them to work together collaboratively to solve problems,
and it encourages critical thinking, reasoned and fact-based
argumentation, and respect for differing viewpoints in our
increasingly diverse and global society. Highlighting the need for
more emphasis on the ethics and skills of democratic deliberation,
the contributors to this volume—leading scholars, teachers, and
coaches in speech and debate programs around the country—offer
new ideas for reinvigorating curricular and co-curricular speech
and debate by recovering and reinventing their historical mission
as civic education. Combining historical case studies, theoretical
reflections, and reports on programs that utilize rhetorical
pedagogies to educate for citizenship, Speech and Debate as Civic
Education is a first-of-its-kind collection of the best ideas for
reinventing and revitalizing the civic mission of speech and debate
for a new generation of students. In addition to the editors, the
contributors to this volume include Jenn Anderson, Michael D.
