Starting from the work of John Angus Campbell, Alan Gross, and
Lawrence Prelli on the rhetoric of science, Gaonkar broadens his

As Americans worry ever more about the effects of media on the
quality of public deliberation, they have developed a renewed
interest in public discussion, especially face-to-face public
discussion. Over a century ago, public forums_organized and
widespread_provided a place where citizens could discuss the
political issues of the day, and they became a means of adult civic
education. William M. Keith documents the college course developed
by the new field of Speech to teach the skills of discussion, as
well as the forum movement, which culminated in the Federal Forum
Project. Using primary sources from archives around the country,
Democracy as Discussion traces the early history of the Speech
field, the development of discussion as an alternative to debate,
and the Deweyan Progressive philosophy of discussion that swept the
U.S. For the first time the structure and details of the Federal
Forum project in the context of the forum movement and adult civic
education in the U.S. are recounted and analyzed, making this book
a valuable resource in the study of political communication and
history.
