DEADLINE: July 6, 2009
The American Evaluation Association welcomes applications for its
Graduate Education Diversity Internship Program that provides paid
internship and training opportunities for academic year 2009/2010.
GEDIP works to engage and support students from groups traditionally
under-represented in the field of evaluation. The goals of GEDIP are
to:
* Expand the pool of graduate students of color and from
other under-represented groups who have extended their research
capacities to evaluation.
* Stimulate evaluation thinking concerning under-represented
communities and culturally responsive evaluation.
* Deepen the evaluation profession’s capacity to work in
racially, ethnically and culturally diverse settings.
Interns may come from a variety of disciplines, including public
health, education, political science, anthropology, psychology,
sociology, social work, and the natural sciences. Their commonality is
a strong background in research skills, an interest in extending their
capacities to the field of evaluation, and a commitment to thinking
deeply about culturally responsive evaluation practice.
