The document announces a lecture by Amanda Clarke on digital government and citizen engagement. Clarke will argue that early attempts at online citizen participation simply digitized traditional offline mechanisms rather than taking advantage of the web's unique capabilities. She claims traditional theories of government-citizen engagement are to blame for this narrow approach and undermine innovative digital partnerships not conforming to older models. The lecture will take place on February 4th, 2013 from 5-7pm at the Canadiana Gallery.

Where we've got it wrong, and how to get it right. AMANDA CLARKE Amanda Clarke is a PhD student at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, an instructor at Carleton University's School of Public Policy and Administration, and a Trudeau Scholar. The earliest research on and practice of Internet-enabled government-citizen engagement merely digitized traditional mechanisms of citizen participation. That is, rather than thinking imaginatively about the webs capacity to transform traditional and produce new mechanisms by which citizens participate in the work of government, writers and practitioners looked to consultations, townhalls, and deliberations, simply added the words electronic, virtual, and digital to the front of them, and called it a day. In this lecture, Amanda Clarke argues that traditional theories of offline government-citizen engagement are to blame for this narrow approach to digital engagement. She claims that this narrowness undercuts space for innovative government-citizen partnerships that capitalize on new forms of social production made possible by the digital age, but which do not conform to the models of citizen engagement inherited from earlier theory and practice.
