Braver Angels debates are different from other common debate styles. Using a modified parliamentary structure, the trained Debate Chair will make sure everyone can speak freely and fully without fear. There are no winners or losers, just curious people willing to listen respectfully to different points of view; and, hopefully, learn something new.

Principle Debaters:

Charles Ballard, Ph.D. – Professor Emeritus in Economics, Michigan State University 

Jeffery L. Degner, Ph.D. - Research Fellow, American Institute for Economic Research
