Hi Emma,

You might remember me from Gills workshops at CDU.  I am slowly progressing my PhD using RE with regarding the implementation of research innovations is Indigenous primary health care research working with Menzies but student at Uni of Adelaide.   So I am in the zone so perhaps I should be waving my hand on this one!

I will be back in Darwin from next week so I when is a good time to come and talk?

Cheers

Louise

Hello, I am a beginner in realist approaches, but the Northern Institute (NI), a think tank at Charles Darwin University where I work, has made a commitment to realist evaluation, including inviting Gill Westhorp to join NI as an Adjunct Associate Professor, providing training in realist evaluation and hosting a realist evaluation ‘book club’ (usually journal articles, but still…).

In recognition of the Australasian Evaluation Society holding its annual conference at Charles Darwin University this year, the next issue of the NI Learning Communities journal has an ‘Evaluation’ theme, and we are hoping to have a number of papers in it on realist topics. We are particularly interested in any evaluations that have involved Aboriginal/Indigenous peoples from any area of the world, but cross-cultural evaluations involving other cultures would also be of interest.

If you are interested in publishing a (peer-reviewed) paper in the journal describing a realist-informed evaluation involving Aboriginal/Indigenous peoples or cross-cultural dynamics, and the learnings that resulted from the evaluative interactions, could you please contact me in the next couple of days? I look forward to hearing from you.
