Candour Questions
Propose a question.
A question worth answering is specific, consequential, and still open. Sending one does not put it on the public register.
The house reads questions selectively. It is not opening a standing pile of manuscripts, and a question is not a commission.
This page does not store what you write. The institutional address is not yet a confirmed public channel, so the house is not receiving question proposals through the site. The list below is the standard a proposal will have to meet.
- The question, in one sentence.
- Why does it matter?
- Who experiences the problem?
- Why are existing answers insufficient?
- What has changed recently?
- What assumptions may be wrong?
- What evidence might answer it?
- What would change your own view?
- Who should Candour speak to?
- May we attribute the question to you? Yes, no, or discuss first.
- Would you help refine it?
Book proposals still go through Submissions. That form is for a book, not for this register.
