Disrupting Program Evaluation and Mixed Methods Research for a More Just Society

The Contributions of Jennifer C. Greene

Click here for more information.

It is not possible to convey in a few words my strongest endorsement for this volume that begins scratching the surface of Jennifer C. Greene’s many contributions to evaluation theory, methods, and practice. I have worked with and learned from her on many occasions over the years as I grappled with refining my understanding and practice of culturally responsive evaluation. I commend the editors and authors for this first substantive collection providing a more in-depth understanding and appreciation of Jennifer Greene’s body of work for some while providing others the opportunity to revisit the lessons we have learned from her work, spirit, and commitment to make a difference.

Published Book
Focus Groups: Culturally Responsive Approaches for Qualitative Inquiry and Program Evaluation

The book takes an in-depth look at how culturally-responsive focus groups are developed and implemented within the context of qualitative inquiry broadly, and program evaluation more specifically. Click here for more information.

For a review by Dr. Kathy Roulston, Professor in the Qualitative Research program in the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration and Policy at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA, click here.

Dr. Hall artfully demonstrates how to use culturally responsive focus groups for social justice through practical research techniques and case examples that show how the researcher can be an agent of change and give a voice to marginalized communities.
