Post #86: Ethics Bowl Ontario Championships 2025

Posted on March 24, 2025by Ishita Jain

The Ethics Bowl is a practice of genuinity, discourse, and humility, as youth from various backgrounds come together to try and tackle some of the world’s most pressing, nuanced issues. A particular highlight of the event was Professor Lu Vada Dunford’s lecture on Consciousness and AI. These Provincials were unforgettable, and I would like to extend a warm thank you to the organizers of the Ethics Bowl, from the University of Toronto faculty to the undergraduate network, for shaping my high school journey since Grade 9 through critical discussion.

As the president of my school’s Debate Team, I have presented several competitive opportunities to our club, one of them being the Ontario Ethics Bowl, hosted by the University of Toronto on February 3, 2024. I was my team leader for “The Quackers,” but as a whole, I had the opportunity to mentor a total of nineteen participants from Newmarket High School that were split amongst three teams.
