LGBTQ+ Evaluation: Building a Liberatory Praxis Together – eStudy 123 Resource Guide

This two-day, six-hour, participatory American Evaluation Association eStudy filled a gap in LGBTQ+ Evaluation training by taking an inquiry-based approach in which attendees developed practical skills in LGBTQ+ Evaluation while reflecting on the question, “How can our work as evaluators help to advance LGBTQ+ peoples’ liberation?”

The eStudy was designed to help participants develop the theoretical and methodological skills necessary to conduct rigorous, affirming, liberatory work with LGBTQ+ populations through a combination of teaching styles including didactic lecture, group discussion, and hands-on learning through case studies.
