"Interscholastic Debates In Relation To Political Opinion," by James Leonard Highsaw, explores the impact of competitive debating on the political views of students. This study delves into how participation in high school and college debate programs shapes an individual's understanding and articulation of political ideologies.
Highsaw examines whether debating fosters a more nuanced and informed perspective on political issues, or if it reinforces pre-existing biases. The book offers insights into the dynamics of debate as a tool for political socialization, and its role in preparing students for civic engagement. It will appeal to educators, debate coaches, political scientists, and anyone interested in the intersection of education and political development.
