Isabella Roberts on embodied democracy, music festival research & shared identity via deliberation

Isabella Roberts discusses her move from finance and electoral politics into research on deliberative democracy, AI and immersive technology. She explains her BoomTown Festival experiment using surveys and biosensors during mini citizens’ assemblies, including an early finding of increased shared identity among participants. The conversation also examines human-centred principles for digital deliberation and how technology might support participation without displacing reflection, listening and human connection.
