UNC vs. Duke: Rivalry Renewed in the Arabic Debate Championship
Oct 10, 2023 Season 1 Episode 2
Caroline Sibley and QFI

Join us this week as we follow two university Arabic debate teams as they prepare for a national competition and make every effort to come out on top. UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University’s rivalry is age-old: Who has the better basketball team? Who has a more beautiful campus? Which shade of blue is better: light Carolina blue or dark Duke blue? And now, who has the fiercest Arabic debate team?

In 2022, Duke and UNC students joined forces to win the 3rd US Universities Arabic Debating Championship. In 2023, they will face off, all in Arabic. Hear from UNC and Duke debate team captains Jasper Schutt and Majid Al Munefi about their experiences with Arabic debate and the hard work of both teams to prepare for the championship. Are you #teamUNC or #teamDuke?
