EASL Learning Loop Journal Club
Come learn with us! Starting in June, join fellow EASL members every other month on the last Wednesday of the month for thoughtful discussion of a current article or blog post relevant to the field of evaluation. Whether you are engaged with evaluation full-time or just as-needed, our goal is to spark dialogue, build our local community, and support professional development by diving into current literature and our collective insights. This will be a space to share ideas and ask questions, and the facilitators are happy to take suggestions regarding topics of interest to you.
Registration open to all EASL members.
Our first article is "How Evaluation Advocates Use Interpersonal Skills to Engage Their Colleagues in Evaluation" Abstract below:
Based on interviews and case studies in nonprofit organizations, this article examines the perspectives of evaluation advocates undertaking evaluation in culturally diverse contexts where interpersonal barriers may exist. Participants provided insights into how to overcome issues by developing meaningful interpersonal relationships, finding shared goals, and providing encouragement. This article presents practical strategies that anyone promoting evaluation may find helpful to develop positive interpersonal relationships and equitable and inclusive working environments.
