This talk considers the challenges democratic societies face today in the face of the fragmentation of core values and shared understandings in a society. The talk asks how dominant political narratives and practices of democracy can be extended through integrating the knowledge and practices of minoritized populations.
Considering a new study into these dynamics the talk outlines the ways in which democracy is made and unmade in the public sphere: through forms of speech, acts of listening, and moments of deliberation around complex and contested everyday realities.
Welcome to a lecture in the series Research just around the corner!
