Dr. Martín Carcasson is a Communication Studies professor at Colorado State University (CSU) and the Founder and Director of the CSU Center for Public Deliberation (CPD). Dr. Carcasson discusses the role of CPD as an impartial resource dedicated to enhancing local democracy in northern Colorado, training students as facilitators to help discuss complex issues with local governments, school boards, and community organizations. Dr. Carcasson shares insights on tackling “wicked problems” – complex issues with no clear solutions – by changing public discourse through improved communication, community problem solving, and collaborative decision-making. Additionally, he introduces ongoing projects like the Deliberative Journalism Project and the Above the Noise initiative, which aim to foster quality local journalism and community engagement. He concludes by offering resources and guidance for those interested in adopting these deliberative practices.
