John Parkinson is Professor of Politics, Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance, University of Canberra. He is an applied democracy theorist who works on the relationships between formal law and policy making and the broader public sphere, crossing boundaries between normative political theory, interpretive political analysis, cultural theory, and public policy. His current research project compares the deliberative quality of two starkly contrasting cases: a campaign to recognize indigenous peoples in the Australian constitution, and the Scottish independence debate of 2012-2014, using novel electronic social science tools. A former editor of the Australian Journal of Political Science, his research has been published by Oxford University Press and in the British Journal of Political Science, Democratization, Public Administration, and Political Studies.
