[Air-L] Crowdsourcing Participatory Democracy

[Participedia Communications]

We are pleased to announce the launch of our fully redesigned open-source,
open-edit website Participedia.net <http://participedia.net/>.

Participedia is a resource for anyone interested in the new forms of civic
engagement and democratic innovation being developed around the world. From
academics, to practitioners and engaged citizens, Participedia’s community
shares a common goal: to document and understand new forms of governance
and community-empowerment in all places and at all scales. On Participedia,
anyone can collaboratively document and share cases, methods, and
organizations related to public participation.

Since 2009, nearly 2000 entries have been published on Participedia.net,
collectively written and edited by close to 3000 users, and accessed by
hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. The research project
has grown into a global network of over fifty co-investigators and
collaborators from partner institutions spanning six continents.

Visit Participedia.net to discover knowledge and stories of public
participation, and share your own!

Participedia is made possible by a Partnership Grant from the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The project was
founded by principal investigator Dr Mark Warren of the University of
British Columbia and co-investigator Dr Archon Fung of Harvard University’s
Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. The new Participedia
website was designed by the project’s Design & Technology Team, led by
Amber Frid-Jimenez, Canada Research Chair in art and design technology and
director of the Studio for Extensive Aesthetics at Emily Carr University of
Art + Design.
