| Syllabus: | This unit will focus on one potential way to facilitate better sustainability outcomes through the implementation of deliberative democracy. Rather than being an alternative to our current system of representative democracy, it is proposed that deliberative democracy could significantly augment it by including the reasoned voice of inclusive, representative participants, engaged in deliberative dialogue, and empowered to influence decision-making. A mixture of theory and practice, with a focus on the practical, enables students to run a variety of deliberative democracy techniques utilized across the globe and including Indigenous participation, such as: the citizens’ jury, deliberative poll/survey, 21st century town meeting/dialogue. Students will work collaboratively to address the tension between social, cultural, economic and environmental goals by leading, organizing, facilitating or participating in a deliberative engagement of community members. |
