Birds of a Feather
Abstract Information: Birds of A Feather networking session is for anthropologists working as evaluators and also evaluators and evaluation sponsors interested in learning more about Evaluation Anthropology and how anthropological theories and methods can inform evaluation practice. People with all levels of anthropological training and experience are welcome to come and share experience, questions, and concerns about evaluation work. The Evaluation Anthropology Interest Group is sponsored by NAPA, the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology and meets at both the American Evaluation Association and the American Anthropological Association. We will use this time to share professional development challenges and opportunities for people with training in anthropology who are pursuing evaluation careers. As befits this year's conference theme, we will both use this session as an opportunity to discuss mentoring and inform participants about the mentoring opportunities for evaluation anthropologists available through NAPA's mentoring program.
