Welcome to #JustParticipation, a student-led podcast exploring diverse, intersectional perspectives on democratic participation and innovation from around the world. The #JustParticipation podcast uses reflexive methodologies that mindfully confront biases to explore the stories of diverse research and practitioner experiences from within the Participedia community. Participedia is the world's largest open access database and community documenting democratic innovations. To avoid echoing similar interests and perspectives, each episode invites participants working from different practitioner and scholarly approaches. #JustParticipation addresses the role of bias in our knowledge making practices by curating the speakers to reflect a diversity of knowledge and experience.

***Season Description: Just Participation’s first season places a spotlight on the use of social media to advance democracy in the digital age. Episodes feature guests from Participedia’s 6 new research clusters in rotation, including: Democracy Across Borders, Democratic Representation, Human & Political Rights, Digital Democracy, Democratic Accountability, and Participatory Governance. ***Episode 2 Description: The second episode of Just Participation concerns “best interests decision making”, made on behalf of those who lack representation in decision making processes. Student host Zeynep Yilmaz interviews the researchers and practitioners, Melissa Levin, Friedel Marquardt (@FriedelM1) and Lucy Parry (@LucyJParry). Each guest is working in a different area applicable to best interests decision making: children as told through the case study of South Africa, marginalized peoples in the context of social media in Australia, and lastly, a consideration of animals and the non-human under deliberative democracy paradigms. We are recording from the traditional territories of the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee nations, and within the lands protected by the “Dish with One Spoon” wampum agreement.
