12th February 2024, Ann Harding Centre, University of Canberra, Building 24
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance at the University of Canberra, we are pleased to invite you to the one-day in-person symposium The Future of Deliberative Democracy.
The symposium will raise the big questions for the scholarship and practice of deliberative democracy and outline agendas for the future. What are the major challenges facing the field of deliberative democracy? What are current findings and what are blind spots that need to be filled in the future? How can deliberative minipublics and other deliberative formats be improved or re-invented? What are challenges and ways forward for deliberative systems?
The symposium will discuss varied challenges for deliberative democracy including affective polarization, connection with representative institutions, deliberation in the Global South, deliberation within the bureaucracy and including nonhumans.
