Bard College Public Debate: "Resolved: Individualism is an American value worth fighting for"

This event occurred on:  Tue. October 7, 7 pm

Is America an exceptional nation? If so, of what is it a model? Democratic self-government? Something else? Does America's success or failure even matter for the fate of the world?
Please join us for an exciting public debate inspired by the topic of this year's Hannah Arendt Center Conference, "The Unmaking of Americans: Are There Still American Values Worth Fighting For?" The debate will feature Bard Debate Union members, Bard College faculty, and cadets and faculty from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
