American Evaluation Association (AEA) 365 Blog Features CERSE’s Practices for Equity

Would you like to hear more about how CERSE integrates our equity values into our policies and practices at the center and with our partners? Read what our staff has to say in the AEA 365: A Tip-A-Day By and For Evaluators blog post, “Centering Equity in a University-Based Center.”  

CERSE Director Elizabeth Litzler, Associate Director Erin Carll, and Senior Research Scientist Emily Knaphus-Soran contributed to the AEA 365 blog. In it, we acknowledge equity requires ongoing learning and practice and emphasize responding to issues of inequity, critically assessing institutional policies, and continuous reflection on our positionalities and biases. We share specific examples of practicing equity in how we conduct evaluation and our day-to-day operations – for example, sharing data with the participants who provide it and including CERSE’s student researchers in administrative decision-making when possible – as well as next steps for deepening this work. We invite your feedback and ideas.
