(See link in our previous tweet for more on the Ostbelgien story.)
First meeting of the permanent Citizens Council in Ostbelgien yesterday. These are the first members of what will become a permanent part of the political institutions in Ostbelgien.

Wrapped up #NCoC2019 and then right into the Deliberative Democracy Consortium @DDemocracyC Research and Practice Meeting opening talk on public emotion in the context of our current political and civic moment with Dr. George Marcus.
I really enjoyed our dialogue on emotions and the role they play in deliberative democracy @DDemocracyC. I would like to see more research on social-emotional learning and civic engagement.
Final panel to explore what can deliberative democracy learn from emerging attempts to counter implicit bias? It's critical to examine implicit bias as researchers address questions of equity and justice in deliberative processes and outcomes. @DDemocracyC
Next panel will explore what can the deliberative democracy field learn from efforts to foster constructive discourse across difference on controversial topics? @DDemocracyC
Kicking off the morning with @DDemocracyC. Panel to explore -Can Human Begins Deliberate? How can deliberative democracy address these problems of citizen capacity and the consequent vulnerability of liberal democracy?
Always great to hang w you @burndinthestars Keiva @ncdd at @DDemocracyC Symposium
That feeling of joy when you see brilliant new ideas coming into the world in the work of extraordinary students advancing their senior theses and dissertations? I have gotten to experience that three times today! What a day.
