Location: Chicago, Illinois
Host: Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)
This year’s theme for the Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment (CREA)’s conference is Evaluation and Assessment as Healing: Towards Culture-Based Paradigms of Care. The theme of CREA VII both acknowledges the pain and challenges us to engage in a culture-based paradigm of care that uses evaluation and assessment to promote healing and transformation. A culture-based paradigm of care guides us to understand culture and context, learn from and with communities, support actions toward health and healing, and seek effective ways to create more responsive environments for individuals, groups, and communities.
The conference is scheduled for October 4th-6th, 2023, with pre-conference workshops on October 3th-4th.
