Episode 36: We're Ba~aack!
<h1>Episode Notes</h1> <p>Did you miss us, listeners? Your erstwhile podcast hosts are back in the saddle! Or back on the bicycle? Whatever metaphor we eventually landed on, this is our first published episode in over two years! A little rusty, but we're pretty sure being a little unpolished is part of our charm, right?</p> <p>In this episode, we catch you up on what we've been doing, including Brian's capstone project, C's evaluation workshop, and a paper on queer evaluation we have been writing with some of our colleagues. As ever, no promises about a regular release schedule in the future, but we're excited to be sitting around the metaphorical coffee table again!</p> <p>If you want more evaluation podcast content, please check out the other shows we mentioned in this episode, including the <a href="https://evaluland.fireside.fm/" rel="nofollow">Evaluland podcast</a>, <a href="https://communitypossibilities.buzzsprout.com/" rel="nofollow">Community Possibilities</a>, the <a href="https://glassfrog.us/podcast/" rel="nofollow">Glass Frog podcast</a>, and one we forgot to say but is also amazing, <a href="https://radicalreimagining.com/" rel="nofollow">Radical (Re)imagining</a>!</p> <p>Full show notes, including links to all the things we talked about, available on our <a href="https://evalcafe.wordpress.com/?p=543" rel="nofollow">website</a>.</p> <p>Find out more at <a href="https://eval-cafe.pinecast.co" rel="nofollow">https://eval-cafe.pinecast.co</a></p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>

Episode 35: Evaluation in Uncertainty - Learning to Think and Act at the Same Time
<p>Double the Carolyn’s, double the depth of conversation! We’re joined this week by Carolyn Hoessler, facilitator, curriculum developer, evaluator, and Founder of Higher Education and Beyond. After a brief chat on evaluation in higher education contexts, we dive into the topics of sense-making and evaluative thinking, covering What-So What-Now What, the Cynefin framework, children as complex adaptive systems, and the power of saying “I don’t know”. Plus, Brian takes some time to answer the question “Is water wet?”, and Carolyn Camman says something nice about the field of evaluation.</p> <p>Full show notes available on our <a href="https://evalcafe.wordpress.com/2020/05/07/episode-35-learning-to-think-and-act-at-the-same-time/" rel="nofollow">website</a>.</p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>
