One of my classes at Berkeley this past semester was a Political Science Colloquium where each week we heard from a different speaker.

Two people with different opinions on an issue agree to debate during a certain time.
They each write a new post on the issue, no matter if they have written about it before.
At the end or beginning of the [...]
