Tuesday 14th March 2017, 16:00 – 17:00
Presenter: Justin Jagosh (PhD), University of Liverpool
Webinar Overview:
Many approaches to addressing complexity in evaluation design are burgeoning. In part this is in response to the inadequacy of ‘complexity-thin’ approaches to supporting solutions to entrenched and evolving problems. A second factor is witnessing new complex problems emerging with radical changes in society and sectors. In this context, the realist paradigm serves as a guide to expand complexity-mindedness, which presumably translates into more useful and relevant knowledge products, and a community of realist evaluation specialists dedicated to developing a lens on ‘context-mechanism’ interactions. This webinar will introduce realist methodological principles, and explain how realism can increase our complexity-mindedness and capacity to gain causal insight.
