Negotiating Researcher Roles in Ethnographic Program Evaluation
Harklau, Linda; Norwood, Rachel
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v36 n3 p278-288 Sep 2005
We argue for the value of postmodernism in illuminating the roles or subject positions of ethnographic program evaluators. Drawing upon data from an ethnographic study of a summer college readiness program for African American, Asian American, and Anglo youth, we explore how postmodern theories can provide insights into the multiple roles of evaluators and increase reflexivity in ethnographic program evaluation.
