Campus Crossfire

A university debate and media initiative reviving civil discourse through live, student-led debates on the most important and divisive issues of our time.

Campus Crossfire is a civic media and dialogue initiative that brings structured, Oxford-style debates and filmed discussions to university campuses, starting at Stanford. The project aims to model what honest, patriotic, and solution-oriented discourse can look like in an era of polarization. Through collaboration with students, faculty, and national media partners, Campus Crossfire will make debate exciting again—and help rebuild the culture of open dialogue in higher education.


Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
