Global Citizen Deliberation: Analysing a Deliberative Documentary

该项目将制定和拍摄世界上第一个真正的全球公民审议--关于基因组编辑的全球公民大会(GCA)，并着手分析这部‘审议纪录片’电影对公众对复杂、快速发展的科学和技术的理解的影响。它将调查公民考虑复杂的价值问题的跨文化能力，从而确定全球公众对基因组编辑带来的挑战做出知情反应的前景。研究将测试这部深思熟虑的纪录片对观众的影响，考察通过GCA的工作交流复杂问题的好处。其他好处包括提高公众对治理的信任，推动澳大利亚电影业的发展。

The project will enact and film the world’s first truly global citizens’ deliberation, a global citizens’ assembly (GCA) on genome editing, and proceed to analyse the impact of the ‘deliberative documentary’ film on public understanding of complex, fast-evolving science and technology. It will investigate the cross-cultural capacity of citizens to deliberate complex value-laden issues, and so ascertain prospects for an informed global public response to challenges posed by genome editing. Research will test the effects of the deliberative documentary on viewers, examining benefits of communicating complex issues via the work of the GCA. Other benefits include improving public trust in governance and advancing the Australian film industry.
