Linking Evaluation and Social Justice
One day workshop
Date: Thursday 30 September
Presenter: Dr Donna M Mertens, keynote speaker at the AES 2010 Conference

Overview: This workshop explores the basic assumptions that encompass human rights as a driving force to define the evaluator’s world view and how it impacts decisions in the evaluation process. Many evaluations occur in contexts in which issues of social justice are salient; the transformative paradigm will provide the philosophical framework for determining contextual considerations in designing and conducting transformative mixed methods evaluation in ways that link the evaluation process and outcomes to the furtherance of social justice. The workshop is geared to meet the needs of evaluators who have responsibility for evaluation in communities that reflect diversity in terms of culture, race/ethnicity, religion, language, gender, and disability. Participants will be able to deepen their understanding of basic concepts and principles of evaluation by extending these to include dimensions of cultural diversity and transformative mixed methods approaches.
