This workshop focuses on the practical use of a racial equity lens when conducting evaluation. The tools presented account for culture and race as important considerations when conducting an evaluation because there are both critical and substantive nuances that are missed, ignored, and/or misinterpreted when an evaluator is not aware of the culture of those being evaluated and does not adopt a racial equity approach to the work. Participants will be provided with a template for analyzing programs through a culturally responsive and racial equity lens, designed to focus deliberately on an evaluation process that takes race, culture, equity, and community context into consideration.
