Dear Lisa, Thanks so much for passing along the survey link to the OS list and beyond! We are indeed interested in the perspectives of those doing dialogue work and those doing work internationally.
We urge respondents to use the "Other (please specify)" response option in any of the places where the options we have supplied do not suffice: https://opinio.lafayette.edu:443/opinio/s?s=1176 I will also be conducting open-ended interviews to probe further on areas where D&D practitioners did not feel the survey adequately represented their views or experiences. List members should feel free to get in touch with me should they have any questions or feedback. All best, Caroline -- Caroline Lee Anthropology & Sociology Department Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042 Office: 610-330-5913 Email: le...@lafayette.edu ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:14:47 -0700 From: Lisa Heft <lisah...@openingspace.net> Subject: Survey on dialogue work [Hi, folks - Here is a survey currently being conducted - I will guess that it also pertains to you and your work if problems-solutions or deliberations-decisions is not the reason for all of your dialogue work. In fact that may inform the survey in a more diverse way. A lot of the survey feels very America-centered but many of us work internationally, whether we reside in America or not - so I encourage you to participate for greater diversity of thought and experience gathered in this particular survey - as I am guessing it will inform not just America-based dialogue work but be utilized by others around the world to be about dialogue work in general. I do not know more about this, so: for more information see the survey link below - and thank you for sharing it with your other colleagues in the world of facilitation and dialogue - Lisa] ____________________________ The survey is up at https://opinio.lafayette.edu:443/opinio/s?s=1176 Survey of Dialogue and Deliberation Practitioners Will you help us to learn more about the field of dialogue and deliberation-- and possibly win a cash prize for your favorite charitable organization? The field of public dialogue and deliberation is growing dramatically-- so dramatically, in fact, that no one fully knows what the field looks like: - who is doing public dialogue and deliberation work, - what forms their work is taking, - what common challenges they face, - how they would like to see the field develop. We are two sociologists who want to find answers to those questions by asking you, the experts. We believe that your insights will help to strengthen the field, and we plan to share whatever information we learn. The survey at the link below will take about 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Your answers will be anonymous, but if you complete the survey we will enter a charitable organization of your choice in a raffle for a $200 donation -- a small token of our appreciation for your participation. Thanks in advance for your help in making the survey a success!
