Dr Janette Hartz-Karp is renowned nationally and internationally for her innovative work in community engagement and deliberative democracy. Her current role as Professor of Sustainability, CUSP, involves research into deliberative democracy, teaching deliberative democracy in the Masters in Sustainability Studies, and also designing and implementing innovative deliberative engagement initiatives.

For four and a half years, as community engagement consultant to the Minister and also the Western Australian Department for Planning and Infrastructure, Janette's task was to find innovative ways to achieve joint decision making with the community pioneering deliberative democracy. She designed and implemented a wide range of deliberative democracy techniques including Citizens' Juries, Consensus Forums, 21st Century Town Meetings, Multi Criteria Analysis Conferences, World Cafes, Enquiry-by-Design Dialogues, and Deliberative Polls (for details see www.21stcenturydialogue.com).

Janette has continued to pioneer innovative community engagement techniques with local and state governments across Australia, and non-government organisations in Australia and the USA on issues relating to climate change. She is currently working on a major deliberative initiative to further alternative energy, under the auspices of the European Commission. It will culminate in a 21st Century Dialogue in Berlin in September 2008. Janette represents Australia at a number of deliberative democracy/collaborative governance forums in the USA and Canada, has presented papers and workshops nationally and internationally, and is on the editorial board of the new IJP2 Journal (International Journal for Public Participation).
