Dr. Lyn Carson has written handbooks on community engagement and many articles and book chapters on public participation, including a book, with Brian Martin, Random Selection in Politics (Praeger, 1999). She draws on her earlier experience as an elected local government representative to design and conduct participatory processes. She has also participated in many examples of active democracy-for example Australia's first consensus conference, Australia's first two deliberative polls, a number of citizens' juries, a combined citizen's panel and televote and Australia's first youth jury. She co-designed the Australian Citizens' Parliament and NSW Climate Summit. Dr. Carson is a professor in applied politics at the Centre for Citizenship and Public Policy at the University of Western Sydney. She co-teaches Dialogue, Deliberation & Public Engagement (a global program), and conducts local and global research into deliberative innovations.
