Description

Evaluation for a Caring Society by Merel Visse and Tineke Abma offers a fresh perspective on evaluation practices in contemporary Western societies. It highlights the importance of care in our daily lives, arguing that traditional approaches to evaluation often overlook this crucial aspect. The authors propose alternative foci for evaluators who work from a care perspective, focusing on the evaluator's responsive and interpersonal encounter with individuals' personal troubles. They also explore the relationship between evaluation and care at a sociological and political level, where structural and political arrangements in society come into play. This book fills a gap in the field by providing a multitude of examples of evaluation as a caring practice. By examining the intricate relationship between evaluation and care, this book provides valuable insights for those working in fields such as healthcare, social work, and administration.
