Hi! My name is Sim and I'm a policy debate coach at Georgetown Day School. I started a project last year which I called an 'Asian Identity Debate Working Group.' The purpose of such was to create a community of curious students to collaborate over identity arguments. More importantly, I had a larger mission to foster a space where Asian students could reflect on their identity and history with peers, learn about new literature and theories, and develop a critical consciousness. If you are interested in joining the 2023 summer cohort, please fill out this application.
