Briggs, Milk, and the Battle for Teacher Privacy: Rethinking Debate Performance through Thematic Transcription

EasyChair Preprint no. 3921

Abstract

This study argues that new metrics for assessing debate performance, including floor control and idea resonance, provide a stronger framework for gauging success than the traditional markers. Using a new technique for thematic transcription of a debate between Supervisor Harvey Milk and Senator John Briggs over a proposed law which would have removed gay teachers, it rethinks debate success and posits how this analysis could be used to think through debate performance today.

Keyphrases: Debate, educational policy, floor control
