DESCRIPTION:“They’re just not listening” has become a familiar lamen
 t in contemporary politics. Politicians often promise to listen\, and citi
 zens still feel let down. If listening is often hailed as a remedy for the
  ills of distrust\, disaffection\, and polarization\, what do we mean exac
 tly by listening and what does listening well look like in practice? To wh
 om should government listen\, and how? What needs to be done to embed list
 ening in the workings of government across multiple scales?\n \nThis works
 hop brings together people thinking about these issues in academia\, think
  tanks\, and charitable organizations to address these questions from mult
 iple angles—from the impacts of unresponsive economic policy to the pote
 ntial of deliberative democracy\, from the political challenges of buildin
 g sustainable coalitions to the marginalization of minorities in public po
 licy. The workshop will be interactive\, with two sets of short panel pres
 entations\, each followed by small-group discussion organized around promp
 t questions to help identify concrete policy proposals.\n \nIn the first h
 alf\, we will look at a range of political and political-economic factors 
 influencing distrust and how these can be tackled. The second half will fo
 cus on more inclusive practices of listening including deliberative democr
 acy and combatting the marginalization of minority voices.\n \nThis is the
  fourth and final in a series of FREE workshops organized by Professor Nao
 mi Waltham-Smith to explore the potential for research on listening\, soun
 d\, and music to inform policymaking. These workshops will bring together 
 academics from multiple disciplines with think tanks\, NGOs\, grassroots a
 nd other civil society organizations\, lawyers\, and others working to inf
 luence policymaking to discuss key issues and to identify opportunities to
  collaborate.\n \nIf you wish to attend\, please email naomi.waltham-smith
 @music.ox.ac.uk no later than noon on Monday 2 September. Spaces are limit
 ed due to the interactive nature of the sessions.\n \nLearn more about the
