		<description><![CDATA[The Civil Conversations Project seeks to renew common life in a fractured and tender world. We are a conversation-based, virtues-based resource towards hospitable, trustworthy relationship with and across difference. We honor the power of asking better questions, model reframed approaches to entrenched debates, and insist that the ruptures above the radar do not tell the whole story of our time. We aspire to amplify and cross-pollinate the generative new realities that are also being woven, one word and one life at a time.

They have found that by creating space within affinity groups for enclaves to dialogue; processes are more inclusive,&#160;participatory, and democratic.

In the article, Karpowitz and Raphael, build off of previous research they performed regarding inclusivity within democratic deliberation. They propose four ideals of inclusion summarized in the abstract, &#8220;These principles of inclusion depend not only on the goals of a deliberation, but also on its level of empowerment in the political system, and its openness to all who want to [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/rc/item/11589">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

In the article, the authors theorize on how deliberative democracy operates in relation to equality and equity. They lift up two features that are of particular importance to pre-deliberative democracy: popular participation and agenda-setting, that must be paid attention to by theorist and practitioners. Deliberative democratic processes shape and are shaped by these two features, popular participation- how people show [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/rc/item/11549">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
