Michael Antonucci


Mr. Antonucci is the Associate Director of Debate at Georgetown University.

As a high school coach, Mr. Antonucci has coached top speakers at the Glenbrooks and the Barkeley Forum, tournament winners at Greenhill, Georgetown Day, and Omaha Westside, finalists at Harvard and St. Mark's, two of the top ten teams at the 2005 NFL Nationals, and late elim participants and top ten speakers at virtually every major national competition.

As a Northwestern coach, he helped to propel teams to two first round at large bids, quarterfinals of the National Debate Tournament, and late elimination rounds of the prestigious Harvard, Kentucky, Berkeley, Georgia State, USC and Wake Forest tournaments.

He has previously taught exceptionally well-reviewed lab groups and classes at Northwestern University, the Dartmouth Debate Institute, the New York's IMPACT Coalition's Institute and Training Initiative, and the University of Iowa.

Mr. Antonucci's pedagogical success stems, in large part, from teaching simultaneously rigorous and innovative research techniques that propel debate scholars of all experience levels and intellectual proclivities to excellence. His pedagogy has benefited debaters within a wide array of theoretical frameworks, from realism to hypotesting to schizoanalysis.

Mr. Antonucci is also a published poet and former small-press magazine editor.
