About

I am an associate professor in Political Science at the University of Canberra, Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance. I work in the area of deliberative/participatory democracy and democratic innovations. My research combines normative theory with interpretive political research and focuses on the ways actors understand, practice and improve democracy. I am one of the conveners of the ECPR Standing Group on Theoretical Perspectives in Policy Analysis. You can connect with me/my work via @selenAercan
