F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Feminist Storytelling in Evaluation: Seeking practitioners for an exchange

Dear colleagues,

I’m reaching out to connect with fellow evaluation practitioners who have experience using feminist storytelling as a core evaluation methodology. As part of my master’s research, and more importantly, as part of a shared learning initiative, I want to see if there is interest in convening a small, time-bound peer learning space focused on this emerging methodology.

The idea is to bring together a group of practitioners over the next 3–4 months in 3 online peer exchanges to

  • Present and reflect on your experience applying feminist storytelling in evaluation (challenges, innovations, lessons)
  • Exchange ideas and strategies with others working in similar or diverse contexts
  • Contribute to a collectively developed, self-published practice note that documents insights from the sessions, with full acknowledgment of all participants (unless anonymity is preferred)

This will function as a mini-community of practice, grounded in reflection, curiosity, and shared commitment to feminist principles in evaluation.

Participation is entirely flexible—whether you’d like to:

  • Present in a peer session,
  • Join as a discussant/listener,
  • Connect in a 1:1 conversation instead
  • Refer people you think might be interested in participating in this initiative!

I hope this can offer a space to strengthen connections and visibility around this important work. If you’re interested in joining or want to hear more, please feel free to reply directly to this message or email me at carter.alexandra@hotmail.com

Best,

Alex Carter

Hi Alex,

It sounds interesting! Although I had an experience with Afro women just for 6 months, I would love to participate in this.

let me know if you still are looking for someone.

Have a great day
