STJ Debate Society Director Stephen M. Llano To Lecture In Hungary

Dr. Stephen Llano, Director of Debate and Assistant Professor in the Department of Rhetoric, Communication, and Theater will lecture on teaching and learning debate in Budapest, Hungary.

The invitation comes as part of “Austro-Hungarian Debate Week” which involves students from both North America and Europe competing in two tournaments – the other being in Vienna – and a week of lectures, panel discussions, and workshops on debating.

Dr. Llano will be joined by 4 undergraduate St. John’s students for the competitions and the week of workshops. They will debate against Europe’s finest debaters during the course of the two tournaments – at least ten debates in total over the 10 day trip.

The STJ Debate society is an open academic program available to all St. John’s University students. For more information on how you can get involved, email Dr. Llano at llanos@stjohns.edu
