LogoLink Collaborates with the Deliberative Democracy Consortium
On October 22-24, 2003, the Deliberative Democracy Consortium (DDC) convened a “Researcher and Practitioner Conference” to map out a research agenda in the field of deliberative democracy. As a result of the conference, several research themes were identified and assigned to teams of researchers and practitioners who would develop these into research proposals.
LogoLink representatives participated in the meeting, where they shared the work that the LogoLink network is pursuing and expressed the network’s interest in linking up with the DDC for various learning events and activities. In particular, LogoLink will be involved in two research projects, one on mapping methods in deliberative democracy and the other on documenting activists’ arguments for and against deliberation. The Hewlett Foundation is funding this research initiative. For more info, visit www.deliberative-democracy.net.
