American Evaluation Association 2018 Conference Proposal Submission

Evaluation 2018
Conference: October 31 - November 3, 2018
Professional Development Workshops: October 29-31 & November 3, 2018
Cleveland, OH USA 

Consider these questions as catalysts for consideration about presentations, panels, and posters for Evaluation 2018:

What responsibilities do we have as evaluators for Speaking Truth to Power? When? In what contexts or situations? With what consequences? At what risk or cost? To whom, with what expectations?

• What is power? Who has it, and how can they best be influenced? What is the power held by evaluators and evaluation?

• What is truth? Whose truth? How can we best discover these truths?

• And, what is speaking? Whispering? Public pronouncements? Influence? Activism? And by whom on behalf of whom?

Please choose the presentation type that best fits your material and utilizes your content in the greatest way.
