5th December 2022
This event on 5 December launched a Special Edition of the Australasian Parliamentary Review on the theme of ‘Connected Parliaments — Digitalisation, Innovation and Engagement’. The Review is the premier journal for parliamentary studies in the Australasian region.
The Special Edition theme has been chosen in recognition of the rapid and dynamic changes that impact the way the public engages with the work of parliaments, and the way parliaments embrace new technologies and other innovations. This Special Edition includes perspectives and contributions from a wide range of lived experiences from around the world – including from parliamentary staff, scholars of parliamentary practice and public law, as well as community-based organisations.
Programme:
- Panel 1: The Importance of Public Engagement for Parliaments
- Panel 2: Engaged Parliaments in Action
- Panel 3: A Deeper Look at Connection, Innovation and Engagement
- Discussion: Where to next for research & practice in this space? (facilitated by Sarah Moulds, University of Southern Australia and editor of Connected Parliaments Special Edition)
Featuring presentations from:
- Cristina Leston-Bandeira (University of Leeds)
- Andres Lomp (Parliament of Victoria)
