Over the next few days I’ll be attending the American Evaluation Association conference in San Antonio, Texas. The conference, the biggest gathering of evaluators in the world. Depending on the Internet connections, I will try to do some live tweeting from my @cdnorman and some blogging reflections along the way, so do follow along if you’re interested. In addition to presenting some of the work that I’ve been engaged in on team science with my colleagues at the University of British Columbia and Texas Tech University, I will be looking to connect more with those groups and individuals doing work on systems evaluation and developmental evaluation with an eye to spotting the trends and developments (no pun intended) in those fields.
Evaluation is an interesting area to be a part of. It has no disciplinary home, a set of common practices, but much diversity as well and brings together a fascinating blend of people from all walks of professional life.
Stay tuned.
