"Sustainable Participation" Report Released on Public Dialogue in Science & Technology

Jason Chilvers at the University of East Anglia has produced report that describes how public dialogue expertise has shifted and expanded in the UK.

In Sustainable participation? Mapping out and reflecting on the field of public dialogue on science and technology, he argues that "The field of public participation in issues relating to science, technology and the environment is booming. To date much effort has gone into developing new participatory approaches and their evaluation, while most of what we know comes from individual case studies of engagement." The report builds on one of the first ever studies of public participation experts, their networks, roles and relations, to present a broader analysis of the UK public dialogue field as a whole.
