In a world of division, debate matters. Support your peers as they engage in a provocative discussion on public defiance being declared under the Emergencies Act.
The Roger Watts Debate is a partnership of the Department of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science and a community advisory committee. The debate provides a public forum to debate important issues of the day.
On March 30, top UBC Okanagan student debaters will argue their case before a panel of community judges who will decide the winners. Prizes of $1,000 will be awarded to the first-place finishers, while prizes of $500 will be awarded to the runners up. Student participants will also have the opportunity to compete for the People’s Choice Award, with $500 up for grabs.
