Title:
The "Context+Mechanism" Association: Mastering a
Key Heuristic in Realist Evaluation for
Innovating Complex
Programmes and Policy
Description:
This webinar is the second part of a series on Realist Methodology for the Centre for Evaluation of Complexity across the Nexus. Undertaking inquiry using the realist approach involves analyzing complexity in terms of context-mechanism-outcome configurations.
Confusion often arises in determining what data should fit under 'context' or else 'mechanism' in the process of configuring. This webinar will
provide working definitions for context, mechanism and outcome and will introduce of examples of data
to be transformed into CMO configurations to exemplify
how this can be done. The goal is to stimulate ideas around how to define concepts, theorize programmes and configure data in realist analysis, with the ultimate
ambition of increasing capacity for using realist evaluation to
assess and innovate programmes.
