K Framework Masterclass with Aidan Etkin

Описание: Aidan Etkin is an incredibly prolific policy and LD coach who specializes in K debate and more specifically framework arguments. His students have quartered the TOC 3 times, stood at the top of the coaches poll in policy, and have won several bid tournaments using strategies that he was instrumental in innovating. We are happy to have him joining the Argument Institute staff for this coming season. In this video, we discuss theory positions and K framework, especially as they apply to PF debate. It provides a high-level exploration of what Ks are and how they work as well as a rigorous test of the legitimacy of different ways of treating critical offense (AKA frameworks).

If you’re interested in learning more about Aidan’s approach to K framework in either PF or LD, consider signing up for the Argument Institute: https://argumentinstitute.org/join-th...
