Call for Papers on Deliberative Democracy in Higher Education
The Democracy Imperative has issued a call for short proposals to write Catalyst Papers on critical issues relating to advancing deliberative democracy in and through higher education. The deadline is quickly approaching on December 10, but these proposals are supposed to be short (less than a page). Writers will work in teams, so even the work load will be spread out. You can propose a team. Mini-grants are $1000 for the writing team organizer and $500 for each member. Teams are capped at five people. For more information, see http://www.unh.edu/academic-affairs/democracy/pdf/announce_20071031.pdf.
