  • Deliberative Stakeholder Engagement in Person-centered Health Research

    Gordon R Mitchell, Grant A Mitchell et al.ARTICLESocial Epistemology2022

    Robust stakeholder engagement in health research requires broad communicative integration, not only of patients but also other stakeholders such as health system leaders, clinicians, and researchers. As patients’ personal narratives tend to focus on their own health care experiences, it can be challenging to incorporate these perspectives at the health system level, where discussions often address technical issues such as strategies for aggregati…

  • Emerging Communication Technologies and the Practices of Enhanced Deliberation

    Open AccessAlessandra Beasley Von Burg, Ron Von Burg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Deliberative Democracy2012

    A U.S. Department of State funded program, the Ben Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Summer Institute, has taught hundreds of high-school aged students from Eurasia and the United States practices of democratic deliberation using networked media. A survey of the program’s curricular innovations since 2006, involving integration of YouTube, Facebook, and documentary film, yields insight on how the advent and circulation of “(de-)liberation” technolog…

  • Switch-Side Debating Meets Demand-Driven Rhetoric of Science

    Open AccessGordon R Mitchell, Grant A MitchellARTICLERhetoric and Public Affairs2010

    U.S. government agencies are collaborating with outside scholars to untangle disparate threads of knotty technoscientific issues, in part by integrating structured debating exercises into institutional decision-making processes such as intelligence assessment and public policy planning. These initiatives drive up demand for rhetoricians with skill and experience in what Protagoras called dissoi logoi—the practice of airing multiple sides of vexin…

  • Team B Intelligence Coups

    Gordon R Mitchell, Grant A MitchellARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Speech2006Cited by: 1

    The 2003 Iraq prewar intelligence failure was not simply a case of the U.S. intelligence community providing flawed data to policy-makers. It also involved subversion of the competitive intelligence analysis process, where unofficial intelligence boutiques “stovepiped” misleading intelligence assessments directly to policy-makers and undercut intelligence community input that ran counter to the White House's preconceived preventive war of choice …

  • Placebo defense

    Gordon R Mitchell, Grant A MitchellARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Speech2000Cited by: 3References: 12

    During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, the apparent success of the Patriot missile defense system served as the official centerpiece of a rhetorical campaign to portray Operation Desert Storm as an unprecedented mission ushering in a new era of American military dominance based on technological superiority. Post‐war disclosures have not only cast serious doubt on Patriot's wartime performance, but have also exposed a widespread program of strategic de…

  • Whose Shoe Fits Best? Dubious Physics and Power Politics in the TMD Footprint Controversy

    Open AccessGordon R Mitchell, Grant A MitchellARTICLEScience Technology & Human Values2000References: 16

    Apparent design breakthroughs in short-range missile defense systems such as Theater High-Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) have prompted questions about the legality of such systems under the 1972 Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. Prominent physicists have used computer "footprint" methodology to prove that if engineered to specifications, THAAD might exceed ABM Treaty performance limits banning highly effective missile defense systems. In response…
