Transformative Considerations: Inclusion and Social Justice
Mertens, Donna M.
American Journal of Evaluation, v28 n1 p86-90 2007
Should the Russians be included in the evaluation and, if so, how can that be done? Based on the axiological assumption that the social justice theory of ethics leads to an awareness of the need to redress inequalities by giving precedence, or at least equal weight, to the voice of the least advantaged groups in society who may not have sufficient power for accurate representation among the stakeholder groups, the ethical path leads to answering this query in the affirmative. The axiological focus on the strengths of the community provides one avenue to addressing this issue through an exploration of options for partnership and community involvement. (Contains 1 note.)
