IJP2的这期特刊试图在公众参与、学术研究和传播研究之间建立联系，强调密切关注自然发生的互动。这些文章都调查了在一次公共会议上发生的沟通的不同方面：一个专注于内布拉斯加州奥马哈经济发展问题的公共论坛。通过对这一常见案例的调查，本期文章详细描述了公共会议中常见的一些沟通过程，如非语言沟通、问答行为、讲故事、“社区”一词的使用，以及人们用来谈论自己沟通的术语。这些研究强调了这种互动实践如何以重要的方式发挥作用，以建立或挑战社区概念，确定会议的目的和结果，显示参与者之间的权力差异，并澄清关键的社区价值观。这本论文集强调了如何密切关注在公共会议期间发生的事情可以对公众参与的理论和实践产生重要影响。会议的完整视频可在网上查阅。
This special issue of IJP2 attempts to build linkages between public participation scholarship and communication research that emphasizes close attention to naturally-occurring interaction. The essays all investigate different aspects of the communication that occurs during one public meeting: a public forum that focused on issues of economic development in Omaha, Nebraska. Through their investigation of this common case, the essays in this issue provide detailed description of some communication processes common to public meetings such as nonverbal communication, question and answer behavior, storytelling, the use of the term “community,” and the terms people use to talk about their own communication. These studies highlight how such interactive practices function in important ways to build or challenge notions of community, frame the purpose and outcome of the meeting, display power differences among participants, and clarify key community values. This collection of essays highlights how close attention to what happens during public meetings can have important implications for both the theory and practice of public participation. A full video of the meeting is available online.
