  • environmental justice grassroots activism and its impact on public Policy Decision making
    Journal of Social Issues, 2000
    Co-Authors: Robert D Bullard, Glenn S Johnson
    Abstract:

    A growing body of evidence reveals that people of color and low-income personshavebornegreaterenvironmentalandhealthrisksthanthesocietyatlargeintheirneighborhoods, workplace, and playgrounds. Over the last decade or so, grass-roots activists have attempted to change the way government implements environ-mental,health,andcivilrightslaws.Grassrootsgroupshaveorganized,educated,and empowered themselves to improve the way government regulations andenvironmental policies are administered. A new movement emerged in oppositionto environmental racism and environmental injustice. Over the last 2 decades orso, grassroots activists have had some success in changing the way the federalgovernment treats communities of color and their inhabitants. Grassroots groupshave also organized, educated, and empowered themselves to improve the wayhealth and environmental policies are administered. Environmentalism is nowequated with social justice and civil rights.

    Journal of Social Issues, 2000
    Co-Authors: Robert D Bullard, Glenn S Johnson
    Abstract:

    A growing body of evidence reveals that people of color and low-income persons have borne greater environmental and health risks than the society at large in their neighborhoods, workplace, and playgrounds. Over the last decade or so, grassroots activists have attempted to change the way government implements environmental, health, and civil rights laws. Grassroots groups have organized, educated, and empowered themselves to improve the way government regulations and environmental policies are administered. A new movement emerged in opposition to environmental racism and environmenttal injustice. Over the last decades or so, grassroots activists have had some success in changing the way the federal government treats communities of color and their inhabitants. Grassroots groups have also organized, educated, and empowered themselves to improve the way health and environmental policies are administered. Environmentalism is now equated with social justice and civil rights.

  • the use of citizens juries in health Policy Decision making a systematic review
    Social Science & Medicine, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jackie M Street, Katherine M Duszynski, Stephanie Krawczyk, Annette J Braunackmayer
    Abstract:

    Deliberative inclusive approaches, such as citizen juries, have been used to engage citizens on a range of issues in health care and public health. Researchers engaging with the public to inform Policy and practice have adapted the citizen jury method in a variety of ways. The nature and impact of these adaptations has not been evaluated.

    Abstract:

    Deliberative inclusive approaches, such as citizen juries, have been used to engage citizens on a range of issues in health care and public health. Researchers engaging with the public to inform Policy and practice have adapted the citizen jury method in a variety of ways. The nature and impact of these adaptations has not been evaluated. We systematically searched Medline (PubMED), CINAHL and Scopus databases to identify deliberative inclusive methods, particularly citizens' juries and their adaptations, deployed in health research. Identified studies were evaluated focussing on principles associated with deliberative democracy: inclusivity, deliberation and active citizenship. We examined overall process, recruitment, evidence presentation, documentation and outputs in empirical studies, and the relationship of these elements to theoretical explications of deliberative inclusive methods. The search yielded 37 papers describing 66 citizens' juries. The review demonstrated that the citizens' jury model has been extensively adapted. Inclusivity has been operationalised with sampling strategies that aim to recruit representative juries, although these efforts have produced mixed results. Deliberation has been supported through use of steering committees and facilitators to promote fair interaction between jurors. Many juries were shorter duration than originally recommended, limiting opportunity for constructive dialogue. With respect to citizenship, few juries' rulings were considered by Decision-making bodies thereby limiting transfer into Policy and practice. Constraints in public Policy process may preclude use of the 'ideal' citizens' jury with potential loss of an effective method for informed community engagement. Adapted citizens' jury models provide an alternative: however, this review demonstrates that special attention should be paid to recruitment, independent oversight, jury duration and moderation.

  • influencing health Policy through public deliberation lessons learned from two decades of citizens community juries
    Social Science & Medicine, 2017
    Co-Authors: Christopher J Degeling, Lucie Rychetnik, Jackie M Street, Rae Thomas, Stacy M Carter
    Abstract:

    Citizens'/community juries [CJs] engage members of the public in Policy Decision-making processes. CJs can be employed to develop Policy responses to health problems that require the consideration of both community values and scientific evidence. Based on the principles of deliberative democracy, recent reviews indicate that findings from CJs have successfully been used to influence health Policy Decision-making. Despite this evidence of success, there appears to be a gap between the goals of health researchers who organize CJs and the needs of Policy actors and Decision makers. Drawing on our experiences working with CJs and recent research on CJ methods, we describe a synopsis of the current state of the art organized around four key questions, and informed by insights from deliberative theory and critical Policy studies. Our intention is to stimulate further discussion as to the types of health Policy questions that can be usefully addressed through public deliberation, and provide guidance on the methodological and political dimensions that need to be considered in deciding whether a CJ is an appropriate approach for informing a Policy Decision-making process.
