Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, Two-Spirit, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) individuals encounter numerous obstacles to equity across health and healthcare, education, housing, employment, and other domains. Such barriers are even greater for LGBTQ+ individuals who are also Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), as well as those who are disabled, and those who are working-class, poor, and otherwise economically disadvantaged, among other intersecting forms of oppression. Given this, an evaluation cannot be equitable for LGBTQ+ people without meaningfully including our experiences and voices. Unfortunately, all evidence indicates that evaluation has systematically failed to recognize the presence and value of LGBTQ+ populations. Thus, we propose critical action steps and the articulation of a new paradigm of LGBTQ+ Evaluation. Our recommendations are grounded in transformative, equitable, culturally responsive, and decolonial frameworks, as well as our own experiences as LGBTQ+ evaluators and accomplices. We conclude by inviting others to participate in the articulation and enactment of this new paradigm.

转变LGBTQ+评价范式:推进LGBTQ+评价的包容与解放实践

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、酷儿、双性人、双性人以及其他性少数群体(LGBTQ+)在健康、医疗、教育、住房、就业和其他领域的平等方面遇到了许多障碍。对于LGBTQ+群体来说，这种障碍甚至更大，他们同时也是黑人、土著和有色人种(BIPOC)，以及残疾人、工人阶级、穷人和其他经济弱势群体，以及其他交叉形式的压迫。鉴于此，如果不有意义地包括我们的经历和声音，评估就不可能对LGBTQ+人群公平。不幸的是，所有证据都表明，评估系统地未能认识到LGBTQ+群体的存在和价值。因此，我们提出了关键的行动步骤，并阐明了LGBTQ+评估的新范式。我们的建议基于变革、公平、文化响应和非殖民化框架，以及我们自己作为LGBTQ+评估者和同谋的经验。最后，我们邀请其他人参与这种新范式的阐述和制定。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Evaluation (AJE) publishes original papers about the methods, theory, practice, and findings of evaluation. The general goal of AJE is to present the best work in and about evaluation, in order to improve the knowledge base and practice of its readers. Because the field of evaluation is diverse, with different intellectual traditions, approaches to practice, and domains of application, the papers published in AJE will reflect this diversity. Nevertheless, preference is given to papers that are likely to be of interest to a wide range of evaluators and that are written to be accessible to most readers.
