"EDITORS' NOTES (Denise Seigart, Sharon Brisolara). 1. Exploring Feminist Evaluation: The Ground from Which 3 We Rise (Kathryn A. Sielbeck-Bowen, Sharon Brisolara, Denise Seigart, Camille Tischler, Elizabeth Whitmore): Key principles of feminist evaluation are introduced and discussed. 2. Gender Matters: Feminist Research in Educational Evaluation (Wanda S. Pillow): A historical review of feminist theory and research provides a context for and offers critical challenges to contemporary ideas about the meanings and intents of feminist inquiry and evaluation. 3. Feminist Evaluation and the Inclusion of Difference (Denice Ward Hood, Denice A. Cassaro): The meanings and centrality of the concept of ""difference"" in feminist evaluation are critically discussed in an interlocking systems view of dominance and oppression. Connections are drawn to the practice of evaluation for social change. 4. Reflections on a Job Done: Well? (Kristin J. Ward): The challenges of implementing a feminist evaluation approach in the context of evaluating an adolescent violence-prevention program arepresented. Guidelines for feminist evaluation practice are analyzed and critiqued. 5. Revisioning the Process: A Case Study in Feminist Program Evaluation (Rebecca M. Beardsley, Michelle Hughes Miller): The processes involved in feminist evaluation--including collaborative agenda setting and cooperative teamwork--are discussed within a case example of an evaluation of a women's substance abuse prevention program. 6. Doing Feminist Evaluation with Men: Achieving Objectivity in a Sexual Health Needs Assessment (Carole Truman): A feminist conception of objectivity is used to meaningfully guide a needs assessment of the sexual health needs of men who have sex with men. 7. Feminist Evaluation in the International Development Context (Michael Bamberger, Donna R. Podems): Current approaches to evaluating the differential impacts of international development on women and men are reviewed, and the potential contributions feminist evaluation could make to improve our understanding of the gender dimensions of development are discussed. 8. Feminist, Yes, but Is It Evaluation? (Michael Quinn Patton): This commentary examines how feminist evaluation principles and practices look from the perspectives of five different frameworks, each offering different criteria for judging evaluations. 9. Beginning the Conversation (Kathryn A. Sielbeck-Bowen, Sharon Brisolara, Denise Seigart, Camille Tischler, Elizabeth Whitmore): Reflections on the many strands of feminist thinking offered in this volume underscore a common commitment to the well-being of women, and thereby of men. Directions for continuing the conversation are also charted. INDEX."
