hey, i'm megan! i debated for interlake (in wa state) from 2015-2016, and debated on the circuit for 2.5 years. i took the most pride in cutting new frameworks and developing t/theory positions, so here are my favorite positions i wrote over the years. ''if you are a small school/independent debater'' and have questions about debating without institutional support/any position i have up here, feel free to reach out on facebook.
hey, i'm megan! i debated for interlake (in washington state) from 2015-2019, debated on the circuit for 2.5 years, and qualified to the toc as a senior.  


thanks also to xave, katherine, and kris for invaluable help and guidance throughout my career & with many of these arguments.
i had things on here but took them off because i'm not okay with nsd being advertised on this website.  


===== aff cases =====
''if you are a small school/independent debater'' and want to see the files i had posted, send me an email at [email protected]. here are the things i'd posted:
posting these mostly because i'm proud of the frameworks i cut--i don't expect the topical offense to be very useful! i always put a lot of work into cutting aff cases, insisted on cutting my own affs, and cared a lot about their frameworks. in chronological order:


[[Media:CD AC - Sen (Alta 2017).docx|CD AC - Sen (Alta 2017).docx]]
* benhabib plan ac from so18
* sen fw about evaluative spaces.
* butler plan ac from jf19
* especially proud of the positive feedback loop argument in c3.
* markovits kant-ish ac from toc 19
* this is the aff that got me my first w30 in a circuit round, so it holds a special place in my heart :)
* rousseau ac from jf 18
* i also think that womens' education is super important and a really worthwhile cause w/ respect to solving virtually every global issue, like political stability/curing diseases/fighting climate change!
* sen ac from alta 17
 
* at nebel t from so18
[[Media:CD AC - Rousseau (JF18).docx|CD AC - Rousseau (JF18).docx]]
* theory at westview
* used this framework a LOT throughout my years on the circuit--it's [[Interlake AL (Alisa Liu)|alisa's]].
* bierria k (i never got to read it but it's great)
* something to note is that we made sure to diversify the contention offense so that we could develop multiple sources of offense versus any neg strat that was read.
* white house reporter pic from so18
 
* my nebel t masterfile
[[Media:CD AC - Benhabib (SO18).docx|CD AC - Benhabib (SO18).docx]]
* must spec court ruling vs hwl court aff so18
* huge fan of seyla benhabib's work & in my opinion, there's virtually no philosopher who gets more right than she does
* thanks to john for help with the plan and contention offense.
 
[[Media:CD AC - Butler (JF19).docx|CD AC - Butler (JF19).docx]]
* the aff i read for all of jan-feb, except the toc.
* i cut a util version of this aff too and read it intermittently, but i'm prouder of the butler framework and enjoyed defending it more.
 
[[Media:CD AC - Markovits (JF19).docx|CD AC - Markovits (JF19).docx]]
* cut a new aff for toc--i wanted to read a deontological aff because i'd somehow never done that, but wanted to write a new framework
* my internship prof. and i had talked about nomy arpaly's book and i found julia markovits through researching kantian applications of nomy arpaly's work on praiseworthiness/motivational internalism.
* i think it's very cool that the authors in the framework are all women philosophers with innovative, modern rereadings of kant!!
 
===== misc. things =====
[[Media:CD AT Nebel (SO18).docx|CD AT Nebel (SO18).docx]]
* answers to nebel specific to my septoct benhabib aff.
* particularly proud of the link turn to limits and incorporation of framework debate into the second standard of the ci :)
 
[[Media:CD AT Westview RS Benhabib FW.docx|CD AT Westview RS Benhabib FW.docx]]
* got bored one day and wrote a theoretical response to rohith's benhabib fw.
 
[[Media:CD K - Bierria.docx|CD K - Bierria.docx]]
* thanks to prof. marshall for inviting me to see prof. bierria speak! & thanks to prof. bierria for a fantastic talk.
* interacts well with kantian positions & bierria's theory of power has strong overlap with butler--i think this could definitely be used as a perm card that explains the interaction between butler & a race k.
 
[[Media:CD PIC - White House (SO18).docx|CD PIC - White House (SO18).docx]]
* white house pic on reporters topic
* not really re-useable--but should be an okay example of what a pic is, what my frontlines looked like, and how i extended pics in the 2nr.
* thanks to john for helping w/ this one too!
 
[[Media:CD Th - Must Spec Court Ruling (SO18 vs HWL).docx|CD Th - Must Spec Court Ruling (SO18 vs HWL).docx]]
* kris' idea, but i wrote this shell and read it against harvard westlake's scotus aff in septoct senior year.
* the general idea is that if affs spec scotus, they should spec the reasoning that justices use because the *actual* consequences of judicial rulings come from the reasoning & language used in courts' decisions.
