[Dr Dayo Eseonu, @deseonu on that blue thing @deseonu]

As some1 interested in the merits of participatory and deliberative democracy, I wrote about my reflections of its potential in the context of the recent racist riots, thinking specifically about how in PDD spaces, unequal power dynamics mean that some topics are off the agenda.

It's out!

Working on this project has been incredibly eye-opening, revealing so much about how people think about democracy in the UK and what they want to change.

I hope you will find reading it just as fascinating to read our final report.
