Personal reflection on the impact of identity in leading youth-centered evaluation work, highlighting implications for academia.
This is a personal reflective essay about my positionality as a young person and emerging evaluator leading youth-centered evaluation work. I am aware of and continue to explore how my intersectional identity as a 26-year-old, white, cisgender woman influences how I navigate academia and the evaluation field. As an emerging evaluator, I am working to understand the power I hold as a young person within youth-centered evaluation, a contemporary approach that aims to engage and center youth who have not been included in traditional evaluation frameworks.
