Today I presented a paper at OISE at the Learning Democracy by Doing conference. My paper was titled: Transparent Technology? Exploring the political and design values of eDemocracy for citizens. My paper explored:
- transparency as a design value in eGovernment websites
- conflicts between government and citizen definitions of transparency
- the CAIRS database as an example of different enactments of transparency
- design and use of technology as a form of ‘doing democracy’
I promised some of the audience members to place references online. Please click the title of this post to access them.
