complexity and equity

March 31, 2020 Ciaran Camman

I promised Jara I wouldn’t overthink this one and just get this off Twitter and into a blog post, and I’m really trying hard to live up to that. (I might have overthought “not overthinking it” though.) I also know that with how fast things are moving now, there’s a balance to be struck between deliberateness and irrelevance. The post I’m writing now isn’t the one I would have written last week, nor is it the one I’d write a month from now. It’s the one I’m writing in this moment, sitting on my couch in my apartment where I’ve been mostly alone for the two and a half weeks, since the global pandemic came crashing down on these shores.

'how do you like to be held accountable?'

Do yourself a favour and check out this post from Mariah Brothe Gantz, “The Realm of Possibility in Evaluation”. (And once you’ve clicked through and read it in its entirety, also click through and read all the posts that Mariah links to! They’re all brilliant.) I love how Mariah embraces her “youth” as an evaluator as a way to call on all of us to re-examine and renew our spirits and our practices. There’s a surge of energy in the field around questions like these, spurred by the young and young-at-heart among us. It’s a beautiful and critical time to be an evaluator as we hash out what that can and should mean.
