Dr. Steve Llano

On Tuesday March 23rd Dr. Steve Llano from The University of St. Johns lectured on Argumentation. Steve delivered his lecture from his office in New York City. The lecture focused on the Toulmin model of argumentation (see image to the left). There was also interactive discussion between the members of UTA and Steve. Using the Toulmin model they discussed and developed arguments for the motion: THW Ban Boxing.

Following the lecture the members of UTA Debate held a practice debate. The motion was THW Ban Gambling. Steve adjudicated and gave great feedback to all of the participants. Thank you Steve for all of your help and we look forward to working with you again!
