Book Synopsis Creating Space for Democracy by : Timothy J. Shaffer
Download or read book Creating Space for Democracy written by Timothy J. Shaffer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in Association with and We live in divisive and polarizing times, often remaining in comfortable social bubbles and experiencing few genuine interactions with people who are different or with whom we disagree. Stepping out and turning to one another is difficult but necessary. For our democracy to thrive at a time when we face wicked problems that involve tough trade-offs it is vital that all citizens participate fully in the process. We need to learn to listen, think, and act with others to solve public problems. This collaborative task begins with creating space for democracy. This book provides a guide for doing so on campus through deliberation and dialogue.At the most basic level, this book describes collaborative and relational work to engage with others and co-create meaning. Specifically, dialogue and deliberation are processes in which a diverse group of people moves toward making a collective decision on a difficult public issue.This primer offers a blueprint for achieving the civic mission of higher education by incorporating dialogue and deliberation into learning at colleges and universities. It opens by providing a conceptual framework, with leading voices in the dialogue and deliberation field providing insights on issues pertinent to college campuses, from free speech and academic freedom to neutrality and the role of deliberation in civic engagement. Subsequent sections describe a diverse range of methods and approaches used by several organizations that pioneered and sustained deliberative practices; outline some of the many ways in which educators and institutions are using dialogue and deliberation in curricular, co-curricular, and community spaces, including venues such as student centers, academic libraries, and residence halls. All of the chapters, including a Resource Section, provide readers with a starting point for conceptualizing and implementing their own deliberation and dialogue initiatives.This book, intended for all educators who are concerned about democracy, imparts the power and impact of public talk, offers the insights and experiences of leading practitioners, and provides the grounding to adopt or adapt the models in their own settings to create educative spaces and experiences that are humanizing, authentic, and productive. It is an important resource for campus leaders, student affairs practitioners, librarians, and centers of institutional diversity, community engagement, teaching excellence and service-learning, as well as faculty, particularly those in the fields of communication studies, education, and political science.Click here for more information on AAC&U and Campus Compact.

Book Synopsis Overcoming Polarization in the Public Square by : Lauren Swayne Barthold
Download or read book Overcoming Polarization in the Public Square written by Lauren Swayne Barthold and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how civic dialogue can serve as an antidote to a polarized public square. It argues that when pervasive polarization renders rational and fact-based argumentation ineffective, we first need to engage in a way that builds trust. Civic dialogue is a form of structured discourse that utilizes first-person narratives in order to promote trust, openness, and mutual understanding. By creating a dialogic structure that encourages listening and reflection, particularities and differences about fraught identities can be expressed in such a way that leads to the possibility of connecting through our fundamental, shared, and deeply felt humanity. Drawing on Plato, Buber, Gadamer, Dewey, cognitive bias research, as well as the work of dialogue practitioners, Lauren Swayne Barthold provides a sustained defense of civic dialogue as an effective strategy for avoiding futile political arguments and for creating pluralistic democratic communities.

Book Synopsis Democracy, Dialogue, and Environmental Disputes by : Bruce A. Williams
Download or read book Democracy, Dialogue, and Environmental Disputes written by Bruce A. Williams and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At every level of government, environmental regulation is under siege. In Washington, it has been attacked first through the "New Federalism" and now through the "Contract with America." Outside the capital, environmental regulation is the subject of controversy as state and local officials struggle with new responsibilities, threats of industry exit, and challenges from grassroots groups. This book addresses the conundrum of regulation by tracing its source to the competing characterizations of regulatory legitimacy that have accompanied the growth of the American state. Bruce Williams and Albert Matheny identify three distinct languages--managerial, pluralist, and communitarian--used to articulate competing visions of regulation. They argue that each language posits a different understanding of the public interest and therefore a different relationship between the state, the market, and the public. Because all three languages are invoked in regulatory debates, disputants talk past one another, leaving fundamental issues of legitimacy and democracy unresolved or masked by unexamined assumptions. The authors propose a dialogic model for analyzing regulatory policymaking, drawing on postmodernist theory that claims that establishing single languages for understanding the world inevitably distorts communication. They then apply their analysis to case studies of actual environmental disputes over hazardous waste regulation in the 1980s and 1990s in New Jersey, Ohio, and Florida.
Book Synopsis Relational Dimensions of Intercultural Communication in Public Dialogue by : Marcella A. LaFever
Download or read book Relational Dimensions of Intercultural Communication in Public Dialogue written by Marcella A. LaFever and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural ways of being, as well as histories of negative interactions, act as barriers that hold people back from participating in public decision-making. Additionally, while differences in communication values, expectations, and language can make public participation difficult, power inequalities and negative historical relationships are even harder to overcome. In this book I begin by explaining public decision-making as a site for the construction of social understanding and shared meaning. I give examples from the British Columbia Treaty Process that demonstrate how dominant culture communication practices create barriers to full participation from some community members. Subsequently, I posit the importance of concentrating on the relational dimensions of group communication dynamics as a necessary focus in creating space for participation from members of marginalized cultural groups. This knowledge is especially useful for planners, consultants, and facilitators working to increase the participation of culturally diverse community members in public dialogue and decision-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However, the pattern of responses revealed a strong focus on defining equity in terms of the characteristics of the item, with particular emphasis on clinical effectiveness, magnitude of benefit, fit with the mandate of the organization, and total cost. [...] In contrast, most variables related to characteristics of the individual clustered on the relatively unimportant side of the scale, with only severity of symptoms of the illness or the illness itself even getting scores above the neutral point. [...] Triangulation in this context refers to the process of applying a number of different approaches to the research questions to enhance the validity of the information obtained and to reduce inherent bias. [...] An outline of theoretical issues requiring exploration was developed including: 1) understanding public policy as a moral/ethical endeavour and a citizen issue; and 2) practical issues in creating a public dialogue: a) definitions of dialogue and forms of public participation; b) clarifying the goals of the dialogue; c) space for the dialogue; d) language and form of the dialogue and the role of e [...] From exploration of these issues, we conclude that an ethical analysis of public policy should include an assessment of the ends or goals of the policy, the process by which the decision is made, and the explicit criteria utilized in the decisions.
