APSA SHORT COURSE: An Innovative Practical Approach
to Public Deliberation
The Interactivity Foundation has developed its own, distinctly
non-Habermasian, ideal speech situation and has accumulated
several hundred hours of “real world” experience
with it. The Foundation will be offering a free Short Course
simulation training in its Discussion Process on 31 August
at APSA. We have space for 5 simulators and 16 observers.
Please see APSA 2005 Preliminary Program for full details
or contact Adolf G. Gundersen, Interactivity Foundation Fellow,
at gundersen@interactivityfoundation.org to register.

Roundtable on The Future of Political
Communication Research: Where We’ve Been, Where We’re
Going -- Friday, Sept. 2, 4:15 pm
Political communication scholarship has developed a rich
array of theoretical and empirical orientations as it has
gained in disciplinary prominence over the last several decades.
As a previous winner of the Murray Edelman Distinguished Career
Award, each participant is one of a select group of scholars
who have been recognized by the division as having made a
lasting impact on the field. Edelman Distinguished Career
Award winners are in a unique position to remind a new generation
of scholars about the origins of our chosen field, battles
won and paths not traveled along the way, as well as the hard
work taken to develop a research infrastructure in the form
of journals and organized sections to serve future generations
of political communication scholars. Edelman Award winners
are also uniquely situated to offer insight into the future
of our field, which has become in some ways increasingly diversified
over time, and in other ways less visionary as it develops
roots in “traditional” research questions and
methodological paradigms.
The format will be as a structured dialogue among panelists
as well as with audience members, centering on themes that
are relevant to the division as a whole. I will serve as moderator.
Possible topics include the origins of the political communication
subfield, changes over time in the theoretical orientation
and methodological tools used by political communication scholarship,
and the recent turn towards greater interest in cross-national
comparative research, just to name a few ideas.
