For the past 500 posts or so, NCDD and its News & Perspectives blog has been privileged to have the assistance of Amy Lang as blogger extraordinaire. But all good things must eventually come to an end and Amy is moving on to work on a book comparing the British Columbia and Ontario Citizens’ Assemblies and teaching a political science seminar on new models of public engagement at the UBC Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (democracy.ubc.ca). She’s particularly excited about the course she’s teaching because her students will be partnering with a Vancouver nonprofit called Think City (thinkcity.ca) to help expand the public consultation process on the Vancouver municipal budget. She’s also helping start a new company called MASS (masslbp.com) that wants to make Citizens’ Assemblies a widespread model of public engagement, along with training for half marathons (how did she ever have time to blog for us?). We wish her the best of luck!
