Amplifying and Empowering Voices through Evaluation Journals

Stream:

Wednesday, October 23, 2024
4:15 PM - 5:15 PM PST
Location: B117-119
Abstract Information: Academic publication, and social inquiry more broadly, have a problematic history with equitable representation of voices. Articles and manuscripts have suppressed knowledge and harmed systematically underrepresented populations (Gordon et al., 1990; Smith, 2021). Today, many evaluation journals represent one way that the field aims to amplify and empower voices of the typically unheard, the historically underrepresented, and today’s new evaluators and graduate students. Meet editors from the African Evaluation Journal, American Journal of Evaluation, Canadian Journal of Evaluation, Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Evaluation and Program Planning, Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation, New Directions for Evaluation, and The Evaluation Review to learn about each journal, what is unique about each one, and what the journal is doing to foster greater inclusivity. This is a unique opportunity to hear from and connect with some of the leaders in the field. Questions are encouraged; please bring them!
