Drawing on almost a decade of first-hand experience, Principles of Digital Democracy presents a unique look at digital democracy tools in action. Whether it is carbon budgeting in Canada, voting on legislation in Italy or policy consultation in Taiwan, this book explains not just what is possible to achieve with digital democracy tools today, but how to assess the life-cycle of civic engagement, as well as different approaches to security and policy implementation. Principles of Digital Democracy combines theory with practice, giving the reader an overarching theory of the components (Bestandteile) of digital democracy (e.g. ideation, deliberation, decision-making), as well as numerous case studies from around the world. Interviews with organizers and participants provide further insight into who participates in digital democracy and why they do so.

Communicating the History of Medicine critically assesses the idea of audience and communication in medical history. This collection offers a range of case studies on academic outreach from historical and current perspectives. It questions the kind of linear thinking often found in policy or research assessment, instead offering a more nuanced picture of both the promises and pitfalls of engaging audiences for research in the humanities. For whom do academic researchers in the humanities write? For academics and, indirectly, at least for students, but there are hopes that work reaches broader audiences and that it will have an impact on policy or among professional experts outside of the humanities. Today impact is more and more discussed in the context of research assessment. Seen from a media theoretical perspective, impact may however be described as a case of 'audiencing' and the creation of audiences by means of media technologies. "This collection explores the history of medicine's relationships with its audiences, from the early twentieth century to the present. Throughout, the authors discuss how historians of medicine and other humanities disciplines have interacted with - and impacted - their audiences. Topics examined across the ten chapters include medical education, policy making, exhibitions and museums, and film and television.Historians have always interacted with a variety of audiences and there is a common desire for research to appeal to broader audiences with impact beyond the humanities. For historians of medicine, these often include: government committees and commissions dealing with ethical issues in biomedicine; journalists asking for historical perspectives on new medical discoveries - as well as abuses and controversies; museum curators and visitors; healthcare practitioners and students and sometimes even medical researchers utilising historical material.By examining a range of case studies on academic outreach, Communicating the history of medicine seeks to challenge the idea that communication between researchers and their audiences is unidirectional. By employing a media theoretical perspective, this volume discusses how historians can create impact with audiences for academic knowledge production via 'audiencing'." -- Back cover.

In the last decade, the terms 'digital scholarship' and 'digital humanities' have become commonplace in academia, spurring the creation of fellowships, research centres, and scholarly journals. What, however, does this 'digital turn' mean for how you do scholarship as a medievalist? While many of us would never describe ourselves as 'DH people,' computer-based tools and resources are central to the work we do every day in offices, libraries, and classrooms. This volume highlights the exciting ways digital methods are expanding and re-defining how we understand, represent, and teach the Middle Ages, and provides a new model for how this work is catalogued and reused within the scholarly community. The work of its contributors offers valuable insights into how 'the digital' continues to shape the questions medievalists ask and the ways they answer them, but also into how those questions and answers can lead to new tools, approaches, and points of reference within the field of digital humanities itself.
