How might deliberation help you? by Learning Design at UTS https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65 How would a deliberative process help you address your challenge? en-us 2021-07-02 02:11:00 UTC 2022-05-24 22:35:02 UTC hello@padlet.com stanbcapp https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2176805929 I like the idea that there are often fewer emotive responses as a consequence of the deliberative process. The notion of a trusted decision making process ought to be welcomed by politicians but there needs to be an acceptance that the recommendations will be embraced. I think there are many "wicked" problems where this process would be useful.]]> 2022-05-10 02:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2176805929 I think we actually often underestimate the interest, intellect, knowledge and capacity of others to engage in democracy and deliberative discussions - I believe this is particularly true of others who 'don't look and sound like us'. I believe unconscious, confirmation and sadly sometimes conscious bias, can be at the heart of this. In my consideration of and participation in discussion and debates of crucial/important matters, I bring my own knowledge and experiences and I know I have knowledge and experience gaps! The more you know, the more you know you don't know, is very real and I welcome to opportunity to learn more about ways I and others can hear the voices of others (especially those who don't look, sound or think like me!) https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2180195315 2022-05-11 22:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2180195315 Academic Integrity, Plagiarism and Contract Cheating in Higher Ed https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2180400132 Imaginary teachers, students and managers are often positioned on opposing sides in approaches to combat contract cheating and bolster academic integrity. Everyone is looking for someone to blame when things go wrong. Deliberation with the actual people affected by this challenge alongside experts in the field could open up new pathways and help design for the situation as it is rather than the situation we imagine/want it to be.]]> 2022-05-12 01:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2180400132 Rebuilding trust — In systems & one another kurttjoyce https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2184203708 I see a wide number of problems within my community which I believe would be well-served by deliberative processes. However, the meta-problem these processes may be able to assist with is the lack of trust that we see — either in political systems or one another.

Hearing from others with differing view points, as well as elected representatives in a forum where you feel like you're  being heard and have a genuine chance to influence outcomes should benefit all those involved and go towards enabling greater trust and engagement.

This presents challenges in building the relational capacity make decisions about how to plan, finance, operate and maintain water and sanitation infrastructure. Existing institutional frameworks are ill equipped to define and respond to this heterogeneous situation. Key barriers to change are a lack of trust in governance processes and a related sense of futility, especially for those at a distance from decision making processes. My understanding is that I am experimenting with a deliberative method of planning this infrastructure and how it may be managed sustainably. This content is deepening my understanding of the approach that may be used to include people in decisions for improved on-the-ground outcomes. ]]> 2022-05-19 14:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2191419734 A challenge: How can building design and planning in Melbourne’s CBD benefit all the community? stanbcapp https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2195657882 There are frequent conflicts that occur between developers and residents who are affected by these developments. Decision makers in City of Melbourne and state government allegedly try to balance these conflicts but invariably the developers prevail, albeit with some amendments. The economic benefits seem to dwarf resident concerns who often vote with their feet and simply leave the CBD. The remit her e is to navigate a path where all the community benefit.]]> 2022-05-23 10:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/kv948h8jwls39w65/wish/2195657882
