The second episode of Just Participation concerns “best interests decision making”, made on behalf of those who lack representation in decision-making processes.

Student host Zeynep Yilmaz interviews the researchers and practitioners, Melissa Levin, Friedel Marquardt (@FriedelM1) and Lucy Parry (@LucyJParry). Each guest is working in a different area applicable to best interests decision making: children as told through the case study of South Africa, marginalized peoples in the context of social media in Australia, and lastly, a consideration of animals and the non-human under deliberative democracy paradigms.

We are recording from the traditional territories of the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee nations, and within the lands protected by the “Dish with One Spoon” wampum agreement. Have a listen and share your thoughts with us via @justpartpodcast.
