About us

RESOLVED was founded in Palo Alto, CA, by Keshav Arun initially as a platform to interview Stanford professors on the 2026 NSDA Nationals LD Topic.

Over time, it has grown to interviews with professors, attorneys, and scholars from leading institutions such as Stanford, MIT, Columbia, Yale, Cambridge, Oxford, West Point, and blogs dedicated to supporting beginner LD debaters who may not have access to coaches or established teams. Through interviews alongside essays, we break down complex LD topics, frameworks, and arguments to help students better understand debate at the highest level.
