Evaluation With a Focus on Justice

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter focuses on evaluations conducted through a social justice lens. Ernest House, who is located on the valuing branch of the Evaluation Theory Tree, focuses on justice as equality. He examines the Women Affirming Motherhood program description and considers what approaches might lead to an egalitarian evaluation that helps the program in its efforts to expand. In particular, House proposes a collaborative evaluation team, an investigation of causal factors including racial framing, and presentation of findings through compelling scenarios and stories.
