Abstract
Public engagement and deliberation about new and emerging technologies and their potential future trajectories and meanings in society occupies an important place in the idea of anticipatory governance. However, what should public engagement and deliberation look like in anticipatory governance? Here we offer a few ideas that took form in a Dialogue on Nanotechnology and Religion conducted by the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (CNS-ASU) in 2008.
