About IntelligenceSquared Debates

---

A nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, Intelligence Squared U.S. (IQ2US) was founded to restore civility, reasoned analysis, and constructive public discourse to today’s often biased media landscape. The mission of IQ2US is to raise the level of public discourse by providing a forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis, encouraging recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views.

We pursue this mission through a series of Oxford-style debates, featuring two teams of experts arguing for and against the most important public policy issues facing America today. IQ2US produces an award-winning podcast, radio and television show, and distributes free educational debate materials used in classrooms nationwide. Watch, listen and learn through debate at iq2us.org.
