Putting gender and capabilities into the equation: transformative evaluation for enhancing social justice

[Julia Espinosa]

Dear all,

It's my pleasure to share with you my last publication on feminist evaluation:

• (2021) Putting gender and capabilities into the equation: transformative evaluation for enhancing social justice. Journal of Poverty and Social Justice, 29(3), 279-296. https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tpp/jpsj/2021/00000029/00000...

As you know, evaluation is currently regarded as a central tool for learning and improving accountability in relation to public policies and social programmes. It is also understood as a process for boosting human development and social justice. Capability and feminist approaches have both been explored, separately, in evaluation theory, methodology and practice.

This article explores the potentials, complementarities and limitations of mixing the two approaches. To this end, we present an evaluation design for the ‘Programme Against Child Poverty’ of Save the Children Andalucia (Spain). Our aim is to contribute to the development of transformative approaches and methodologies within the evaluation discipline.

I hope you find this paper useful. I would really appreciate your comments and dissemination.

Best regards,

Julia
