Ali Cirone of Yale ISPS and Cornell moderates a panel discussion on political lotteries with Federica Carugati of King’s College London, Dmitri Landa of New York University, Philip Lindsay of Bard College’s Democracy Innovation Hub, and Kris Rose, the head of governance insights for Meta. They discuss the role of technology in improving and complicating public participation in governance, the idea of replacing elections with a system of randomly selecting government representatives, and the need for social science to continue evaluating the scope and types of current real-world experiments in citizen deliberative democracy, among other topics.

Forrest Sparks, founder and director of Democratic Design & Engagement, presents an overview of deliberative democracy and the Assembly Project, a movement for a more expansive and collaborative democratic system.

Federica Carugati, a senior lecturer in history and political economy at King’s College London, lectures about how collective governance is not a 21st century phenomenon. Drawing from archaeology, anthropology, and political science, Carugati discusses her work in building a database of societies around the world and throughout history as a body of evidence to fine theories of collective governance and tool kit of governance rules that communities online and offline can use to build more robust and resilient self-governing practices.
