This month the Atlanta-area Evaluation Association journal club will discuss “Inciting Social Change Through Evaluation” by Dominica McBride, Wanda Casillas, and Jennifer LoPiccolo.
The abstract is below:
This chapter summarizes and presents several current insights into our current understanding of structural racism. It then argues that evaluators have a role and a responsibility to step further into the arena by explicitly addressing structural racism in our evaluation projects. Lastly, drawing on our work at BECOME: Center for Community Engagement and Social Change, it outlines three strategies evaluators can adopt too, as we suggest, “step further into the arena.”

The journal club meets the third Wednesday of every month to discuss new and innovative evaluation topics.
AaEA’s monthly journal club features an evaluation article from evaluation journals and the gray literature. The purpose of these meetings is to offer an easy way for people to get a brief review of new topics, tools, and issues in the evaluation community. You are not required to read the article, but, try to if you can. So hop on the phone and sip your favorite beverage while listening to a summary of the article and joining in the discussion.
