Karla Sanders - Involving Tamariki and Taiohi in Evaluation
In this workshop Karla will discuss how to effectively involve Tamariki and Taiohi in evaluations. She will share examples of best practice when designing evaluation measures as well as undertaking evaluation WITH tamariki and taiohi. The value of this approach is grounded in a belief that young people are crucial partners in evaluation and including them in mana affirming ways should be celebrated and supported.
This workshop will be suitable to organisations and individuals exploring how evaluation could better affirm the mana of young people but it could also apply to those more familiar with evaluation but may not have had experience partnering with youth.

Christie Johnson - An African American Spyglass for Evaluation: The Role Playing Game
This workshop offers an immersive experience in evaluating through an African American aesthetic and Q methodology. Participants will engage in role-playing to develop an inclusive evaluation framework, addressing complex identity narratives like appropriation and tokenism. The session includes practical applications and insights from the "Spyglass" approach, inspired by Zora Neale Hurston, which examines social systems from marginalized perspectives. The workshop aims to rediscover African American Mana for post-colonial evaluation contexts, such as Aotearoa, and refine a collaborative storytelling game prototype for evaluation.
This workshop is for those who have expertise in evaluation methodology but are keen to explore an African American positionality; those who are grassroots practitioners such as oral historians and folklorists who are interested in exploring the intersection of emancipatory work with evaluation theory and praxis; those who are invested in continuing to build solidarity among African American and Aotearoa Diaspora - overlapping approaches to participation, diversity, and inclusion.
Christie Johnson is the new Executive Director of the Wairarapa Women’s Centre. She is a writer, academic, and community activist with a Master of Public Health degree from Yale University, showcasing her dedication to enhancing community health outcomes. Currently pursuing her doctorate, Christie is focused on improving non-traditional stakeholder involvement in decision-making processes.
