Abstract
A recorded conversation on the relationship between deliberative method and non-violent practice, and on defending a table without closing it. The session asked how the way people treat each other translates into societal behaviour, and whether civil discord in the United States can be avoided.

About this conversation
Deliberation and non-violence are usually studied apart — one as a method of decision, the other as a method of resistance. This session put them in the same room. The through line was the hardest problem either faces: how a process stays open to people who are not committed to keeping it open, and what defending a table costs when the defence risks closing it.
The recording is above, and it is the work: this series publishes the conversation as it happened rather than a write-up of it. What follows is the record of who was in the room and how the session was run.
