U.Va’s Miller Center of Public Affairs is a leading public policy institution that has been a central gathering place for nonpartisan public discussion since its founding more than 30 years ago.

In February 2010, the Miller Center will launch season three of the National Discussion and Debate Series with several programs in Washington, D.C. Modeled on Oxford-style debates, the Miller Center National Debates look at issues surrounding America's role in the world, its responsibility to its citizens, and the way its policies fulfill its founding principles. The debaters, two on each side, are drawn from the ranks of practitioners, public intellectuals, business and religious leaders, and academics. While the issues are vitally important to voters and key to the national dialogue, the debates remain focused on policy, not partisan politics.

Produced for PBS broadcast stations by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, an award-winning leader in public affairs programming, all of the events are webcast live on the Miller Center's Web site.
