Conflict Navigation as Rhetoric and Pedagogy for Academic Debating in the United States

xii, 92 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / The purpose ofthis paper is to advocate Conflict Navigation as a new pedagogy
aimed at uniting co-curricular debate educators in the United States. Contemporary
collegiate debate demonstrates a crisis in pedagogy as seen in a history of "fractionation
through structural fortification". This lack of a sustainable pedagogical community has
proven to critically strain the resources and curricula of academic debate. Conflict Navigation (CN) represents a behavior-based approach to conflict with an
emphasis on ethical rhetoric. The primary mission of argument within a CN framework is
inquiry, cooperation, and engagement. / Committee in Charge:
