Martín Carcasson will present his work on dialogue and deliberation to tackle wicked problems on Mon, March 10 and Tue, March 11, 2025. His presentation, "Tackling Wicked Problems through Deliberative Engagement: How to Engage Diverse Perspectives and Elevate our Conversations in Hyper-Partisan Times", will take place in the Student Union West Ballroom on March 10 at 5:30pm. Carcasson is Professor of Communication Studies at Colorado State University and the founding director of the CSU Center for Public Deliberation. His research focuses on helping local communities address “wicked problems” more productively through improved public communication, community problem solving, and collaborative decision-making.
The day after his presentation, on March 11, Carcasson will offer three participatory workshops for faculty, staff, and students to practice collaborative dialogue techniques. These all take place in the Student Union West Ballroom.
Carcasson’s visit is brought to us by the student organization BridgeUWYO, the Service, Leadership, and Community Engagement (SLCE) Office, the Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program, and the Office of the President.
