<span class="ContentPasted0" style="margin:0px">Professor Garman will talk about how thinking about the concept of listening has illuminated how South Africans use their mediated public sphere in the era of democracy there. She will talk about the value of
focusing on listening (as opposed to speaking) as a way to understand how Parliament listens to its citizens, how a local municipality listens to its poor residents, how universities listen to their protesting students and how activists listen to those whose
cause they champion. Focusing on listening, Professor Garman argues, raise questions about how listening theory becomes a useful method in the context of post-apartheid South Africa. What about the inevitable and often intractable power dimensions of a communicative
interaction? How does listening theory account for power, when the overarching intention is change?</span></p>
