Hi Dave,
I was wondering if I could ask the collective wisdom a question. I've googled
it to death but I am obviously using the wrong keywords.
There is a concept related to discussion framing called, I believe, "shifting."
It is a political technique where an agent attempts to redefine or shift what
is commonly believed to be the centre of an issue-axis in stepwise fashion. The
context that I saw it used in was in public vs private education where small
incremental shifts in public attitude were used to normalize the idea of school
vouchers in a community where previously vouchers had been viewed as an extreme
option.
Apologies in advance if you don't feel that this would be a good use of
bandwidth and an abuse of your goodwill.
Cheers,
Chris
