For the next few weeks, I will be travelling in Japan as a part of the NCA’s CIDD (National Communication Association’s Committee on International Discussion and Debate) American tour of Japan.

What this means is you will see a lot of pictures and video from Japan, some tourist stuff but mostly public debates, scenes of Universities, and stuff like that.

I’m traveling with 2 students during this time who are exceptional debaters. They will be debating against many students from Japan about many different topics. These debates will be presented on this blog for your interest and enjoyment.

I’ll also try to keep up with my ideas, thoughts and experiences in convenient text form as well. I’m looking forward to the trip, especially being able to examine some Japanese debate pedagogical practices first-hand.
