Equity-Focused and Culturally Responsive Evaluation Course


Introduction
The focus will be on equity-focused and culturally responsive approaches to evaluation and research, and a combination of both theoretical and practical applications. The course will locate social inquiry as a key cultural product and provide a background and description for approaches that are considered culturally responsive. We will also discuss our own cultural location as researchers, as well as key dimensions of practice (e.g., context, relationships, validity, methodology, design, and reporting).
