Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Australasian Evaluation Society Conference - Photos

Thought I would quickly share a some of the photos from last weeks Australasian Evaluation Society Conference in Melbourne, Australia.

As a community person I found the conference program included a lot of relevant sessions for me. Personal highlight was a plenary session which explored what evaluators can do differently to place evaluation at the top of the agenda for community. Both speakers & the chair responded to the question 'Why am I (community) paying you (evaluators) to tell me what I already know?". Very interested to hear what others think/feel about this question. 

If you have the opportunity to attend one of the evaluation conferences, I highly recommend it. Expand your evaluation knowledge, learn about new approaches, and connect with others.
