Intelligence Squared U.S. is a nationally broadcast debate series based on the traditional Oxford-style debate format, with one side proposing and the other side opposing a sharply-framed motion.

What are safe spaces?  Do they aid or hinder intellectual inquiry? These questions and others are explored in this hour-long debate (video, video clips, and transcripts included).

The debaters: David L. Hudson Jr. and Suzanne Nossel versus Ashutvsh Bhagwat and Michael S. Roth
