While a past Peace Talks Radio program on Transitional Justice included
legal strategies such as a truth and reconciliation commission, this
program deals with conversations that aren’t judicially mandated. Instead,
Public Dialogues happen when people willingly listen to and talk with
other citizens, develop understandings across differences, and collaborate
on shared solutions. They discover a space between the two poles of
‘agree’ and ‘disagree’ about an issue. The need for Public Dialogue is
most acute in complex issues such as racial equity, poverty, climate
change, and mental health where it’s hoped that it’ll increase
participatory democracy.
Suzanne Kryder talks with three experts in this field: Carolyne Abdullah,
the ; and Marion Sanchez, Community Engagement Manager with the City of
Austin; and Carolyn J. Lukensmeyer, Former and First Executive Director of
the National Institute for Civil Discourse, headquartered at the
University of Arizona.
