| Abstract:
We have two concerns. The first is one of definition and description. In other words, what are the defining characteristics of an evaluative practice that bridges itself to our instructional, scholarly, and service interests? Thus, our roundtable addresses issues tied to race, language, geography, and the academy. For example, we address racist professional and institutional practice in higher education and consider how evaluation might challenge or support these. Such interests stimulate our second concern. Generally, racial minority evaluators are presented with numerous challenges and opportunities. Two are: 1) to exercise an apparently neutral evaluative practice, or 2) to practice an evaluation that examines its discursive properties and that is simultaneously aware of its impact on agendas of the communities we serve. We invite our audience to consider the following questions: Is evaluation a neutral endeavor? How might it adequately address the "authentic" interests of the people served by evaluated institutions?
