Dr. Kathryn Quick, writing with her co-author Martha Feldman,
has published an article in the current issue of the Journal of
Planning Education and Research (JPER). The article is titled
"Distinguishing Participation and Inclusion" and appears in the
journal's September 2011 issue (Vol. 31, no. 3). Following is an abstract.
This article argues that
participation and inclusion are independent dimensions of public engagement and
elaborates the relationships of inclusion with deliberation and diversity.
Inclusion continuously creates a community involved in defining and addressing
public issues; participation emphasizes public input on the content of programs
and policies. Features of inclusive processes are coproducing the process and
content of decision making, engaging multiple ways of knowing, and sustaining
temporal openness. Using a community of practice lens, we compare the
consequences of participatory and inclusive practices in four processes,
finding that inclusion supports an ongoing community with capacity to address a
stream of issues.
