“…The authors suggest this can lead to issues of legitimacy of decision-making and information. The need for technical experts to be mindful of their interaction with communities is also highlighted by the case of a water scarcity forum in north Colorado, where it was found that uninvited interjections by water authorities stifled deliberative processes (Sprain, Carcasson, & Merolla, 2014). The authors believe training and careful planning can overcome this challenge.…”

Some of the most significant impacts of climate change are likely to be felt in water resources management, but climate change is not the only uncertainty facing water managers and policymakers. The concept of water security has emerged to address social, economic, political, and environmental factors, as well as the physical determinants of water availability. There are significant challenges for communicating about water security under a changing climate. Water security shares many of the characteristics of climate change with regards to communication. It is a complex concept involving interactions between dynamic human and natural systems, requiring public deliberation and engagement to inform political debate and to facilitate behavioral and cultural change. Knowledge and values about water and climate change are communicated through material experiences as well as through language. Communication about water security and climate change takes many forms, which can be characterized as five key modes—policy, communication campaigns, media, cultures, and environments. More effective communication about climate change and water is needed across these different modes to support meaningful participation and deliberation in policy decisions by a wide range of stakeholders. Integrating climate change into communication campaigns about water security provides opportunities to challenge and reframe traditional formulations of the role of water in society and culture and how to manage water in human settlements, the economy, and the environment. The central challenge for communicating the impacts of climate change on water scarcity lies in the complex interactions between society, policy, technology, infrastructure, the economy, and the environment in modern water systems. Different modes of communication are useful to enable public and stakeholder engagement in understanding the issues and making decisions about how to ensure water security in a changing society and environment.

“…Some of the mentioned strategies, for instance, formulations, editing and reframing are also evident in the work of other third parties such as facilitators and judges of small claim courts (Black and Wiederhold, 2014;Sprain et al, 2014;van der Houwen, 2009).…”

“…For example, facilitators of public deliberation frame issues as contentious to terminate the discussion on aspects that cannot be resolved (Sprain et al, 2014). In their turn, judges use different types of formulations (e.g., checking formulations, bridging formulations, legal formulations, and judgment formulations) to constrain and develop subsequent interaction (van der Houwen, 2009).…”

This study examines the mediator practices to bring the interaction back on track when the participants of dispute mediation go off-task. An existing collection of 18 transcripts from audio recordings of mediation sessions at a mediation center in the western United States serves as a source of interactional data. First, the study examines the moves mediators make to perform interventions to bring the current state of activity more in line with mediation activity. Second, it accounts for the variety of interventions mediators perform by using the concepts of face and facework. The article discusses what the findings mean in terms of mediation, the interaction order, and the institutional order.

“…For example, interactants can use shifts in footing as a resource to address disagreement in an indirect way while avoiding conflict (Bonito & Sanders, 2002) or stay neutral (McVittie et al, 2011). Other strategies to shape disagreement space include limiting topical potential by the use of questions or introducing issues to discuss (Bilmes, 2001;Greco Morasso, 2011;Maoz & Ellis, 2001;Vasilyeva, 2012a), activities of giving an opinion and telling a story (Schiffrin, 1990), providing accounts for one's actions and expressing agreement with an opponent (Vasilyeva, 2016b), and use of formulations, editing, framing, and reframing (Black & Wiederhold, 2014;Putnam, 2009;Sprain et al, 2014;van der Houwen, 2009). …”
