Democracy and Discourse Case Studies
Better decisions through Deliberative Polling®
ICDD Faculty from the School of Leadership Studies, the English Department, K-State Libraries, and Communication Studies formed a working group to conduct the deliberative poll. Professor Tim Steffensmeier solicited interest from students in his undergraduate course on Argumentation Theory, and they agreed to dedicate two course sessions and an additional evening to deliberate. The class had 11 students enrolled, and 20 participated in this project.
