Get to the heart of an issue in an exciting hour-long debate where the speakers pull out all the stops to convince you that they are right, or at the very least: most entertaining. Separate fact from fiction, intelligence from innuendo and reality from rhetoric. Get the full circle perspective as our participants square off.

Moderating this final episode of AppliedHE Squaring the Circle Debate in 2022 is our debate master Dr Kevin Downing. He will be managing a rowdy pack of esteemed global higher education leaders to debate the motion “Rankings are just ‘beauty contests’ for vain universities” on Wed 9 March 2022 at 8 PM Hong Kong/Singapore time.
