Culturally Responsive Approaches to Evaluation: Empirical Implications for Theory and Practice
Evaluators have always worked in diverse communities, and the programs they evaluate are designed to address often intractable socio-political and economic issues. In this book, Jill Anne Chouinard and Fiona Cram utilize a conceptual framework that foregrounds culture in social inquiry, and then uses that framework to analyze empirical studies across three distinct cultural domains of evaluation practice (Western, Indigenous and international development). Evaluations that explicitly aim to be more responsive to culture and cultural context are, however, a more recent phenomenon.
They conclude with an Culturally Responsive Approaches to Evaluation Empirical Implications for Theory and Practice provides a comparative analysis of these studies and discuss lessons drawn from them in order to help evaluators extend their current thinking and practice.
