=Oxonian Society=

The Oxonian Society is a group that brings together many prominent people for a question-answer style debate. Its purpose is "to play a small role in shaping the great debates of our generation. The Society is committed to providing access to this generation's leaders and great thinkers in hopes that we can inspire the next." [http://www.oxoniansociety.com/About.asp] The group has one guest who answers questions posed an audience consisting of social, political, and business elites. The discussions cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from politics and culture to religion and science.

The Oxonian Society is located in Manhattan. It is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization that claims tax-exempt status. The Oxonian Society was conceived of, and founded by, two Oxford graduates, Louise Bagshawe and Joseph Pascal, in 2001. The Society's website also lists Her Royal Highness Princess Badiya bint El Hassan as the groups patron. Badiya is also a Oxford graduate.
