🌟 Meet Lisa Oswald 🌟 She investigates public discourse in online environments and explores the crucial role of digital media for democracy. Lisa says: "Public discourse is really essential for any democratic system, because it is the basis for public opinion formation and eventually for political action. Therefore this is relevant for all of us. And at the same time, we see that it undergoes dramatic changes through the digital transformation." Curious about Lisa's research?

I will be speaking on "Truth Commissions and State Building" at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, on May 10. I will discuss my recent book, which explores the role of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) in state-building processes. Drawing on Participedia research data, I frame TRCs as deliberative democratic innovations and mechanisms for public participation in specific post-conflict and post-autocratic state-building contexts. https://lnkd.in/gUxByppG

9moThanks Sue for the historic recap. It was very painful and horrible time and another incident that has given Boston a black mark and a perpetuation of its reputation as a racist city. Mayor Wu apologized, because she is an “inclusive leader”. She’s what I referred to in my new book “The Includers”as an Includer” and inclusive leaders take responsibility and accountability when mistakes are made and wrongdoing are done. She also did it as a Mayor of color who understands what it’s like to constantly be under attack because people see you as “other.” it is the very reason why we continually have racial issues in this country. America ( it’s Congress or any of it’s president) has yet to apologize to Black people for the enslavement of their ancestors. America still has a long way to go especially with people wanting to whitewash history. Nikki Haley a Republican Presidential candidate could not even admit that the Civil War was about slavery. We need to begin to live up to our motto of “E Pluribus Unum” out of many one people. An apology brings about healing and repairs the psychological damage and trauma done to those who were injured.
