Feminist Issues in Evaluation - AEA Thematic Interest Group

The Feminist Issues in Evaluation is a Thematic Interest Group (TIG) in the American Evaluation Association (AEA). Since being officially approved in 1997, it has played a role in broadening the discussions within the AEA to include range of related feminist, gender, human rights, social justice, inclusion, and international perspectives. The group contributes to the annual AEA conference through the sponsoring of sessions and professional development workshops, and serves as a network for members and others interested in feminist issues in evaluation.
