Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to consider contributing to the special
issue Public
participation amidst hostility: when the uninvited shape matters of
collective concern, which developed based on a EASST 2022 panel and which
will be published in the journal Social Inclusion. Please find more
details below and, if you are interested, contact the guest editors for a
draft of the Introduction text.
Topic:
Ways of taking part in formulating and addressing matters of shared concern
are diverse. The practices people employ to engage in shaping societal
orders go far beyond organized formats such as citizen juries or
co-production sessions, where questions and tasks are, to a large extent,
pre-set. Particularly creative practices emerge in situations where
participation is not invited, or is discouraged, or even met with
hostility. Such situations are not exceptional because even in established
democracies pockets of exclusion exist. For this special issue, we
challenge authors to consider, among others, how participation is made
possible in situations of hostility to participation: What are the
consequences of participatory practices under adverse circumstances? How
can we understand and theorize the diversity of forms of participation in
contemporary societies? How can we make studies of public participation
relevant to the multiple settings where exclusion and animosity to public
input exist?
