In a future speech at the Sept 29-30 EDem 08 conference in Austria -
http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/edem - chock full of researchers I hope to address
the research/practitioner divide with your input.
1. For those "practitioners" amongst us, what research have you found useful in
your work over the last year? Share a link if you can.
2. For everyone, what are some of the most important research questions that
need to be explored in the e-democracy/e-participation/e-campaigning/e-advocacy
fields? What would actually help us do a better job in our work or justify our
efforts (or tell us we are e-waste ;-)).
As I have shifted from 1/4 practitioner, 3/4 expert to 3/4 practitioner and 1/4
expert (which is 10x more work) I have experienced a greater mismatch between
what people are researching and what knowledge the field actually needs to
improve democratic participation.
