Abstract

Classroom full of people.The author argues that university faculty can create courses that explore deliberative democracy theory and practice while also making the structure of the course deliberative and participatory for undergraduate students. Challenging norms within higher education requires thinking differently about one’s pedagogical approach and to connect courses with wider public issues.
