Association for Argumentation Studies

The Association for Argumentation Studies (AAS) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and promotion of argumentation—how people construct, analyze, and evaluate arguments. It brings together scholars from diverse fields like philosophy, communication, law, and education to explore effective reasoning, debate, and persuasive communication. The AAS aims to enhance understanding of argumentation’s role in fostering critical thinking, dialogue, and decision-making across various contexts. Through conferences, publications, and networking opportunities, it supports research and practice that improve argumentative skills and promote constructive discussions in society.
