EDITORS' NOTES (Denise Seigart, Sharon Brisolara).
1. Exploring Feminist Evaluation: The Ground from Which 3
We Rise (Kathryn A. Sielbeck-Bowen, Sharon Brisolara, Denise Seigart,
Camille Tischler, Elizabeth Whitmore): Key principles of feminist evaluation are introduced and discussed.
2. Gender Matters: Feminist Research in Educational
Evaluation (Wanda S. Pillow):
A historical review of feminist theory and research provides a context
for and offers critical challenges to contemporary ideas about the meanings
and intents of feminist inquiry and evaluation.
3. Feminist Evaluation and the Inclusion of Difference (Denice Ward Hood, Denice A. Cassaro):
The meanings and centrality of the concept of "difference" in feminist
evaluation are critically discussed in an interlocking systems view of
dominance and oppression. Connections are drawn to the practice of
evaluation for social change.
4. Reflections on a Job Done: Well? (Kristin J. Ward):
The challenges of implementing a feminist evaluation approach in the
context of evaluating an adolescent violence-prevention program arepresented.
Guidelines for feminist evaluation practice are analyzed and
critiqued.
5. Revisioning the Process: A Case Study in Feminist Program
Evaluation (Rebecca M. Beardsley, Michelle Hughes Miller):
The processes involved in feminist evaluation--including collaborative
agenda setting and cooperative teamwork--are discussed within a case
example of an evaluation of a women's substance abuse prevention program.
6. Doing Feminist Evaluation with Men: Achieving
Objectivity in a Sexual Health Needs Assessment (Carole Truman):
A feminist conception of objectivity is used to meaningfully guide
a needs assessment of the sexual health needs of men who have sex
with men.
7. Feminist Evaluation in the International Development
Context (Michael Bamberger, Donna R. Podems):
Current approaches to evaluating the differential impacts of international
development on women and men are reviewed, and the potential
contributions feminist evaluation could make to improve our
understanding of the gender dimensions of development are discussed.
8. Feminist, Yes, but Is It Evaluation? (Michael Quinn Patton):
This commentary examines how feminist evaluation principles and
practices look from the perspectives of five different frameworks, each
offering different criteria for judging evaluations.
9. Beginning the Conversation (Kathryn A. Sielbeck-Bowen, Sharon Brisolara, Denise Seigart,
Camille Tischler, Elizabeth Whitmore):
Reflections on the many strands of feminist thinking offered in this volume
underscore a common commitment to the well-being of women,
and thereby of men. Directions for continuing the conversation are also
charted.
INDEX.
