Visualizing Evaluation Theory Special Issue of JMDE

We are excited to announce the publication of a special issue of the Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation focused on visualizing evaluation theory. Evaluation theory has and continues to play an important role in the practice and profession of evaluation. Over the years, and as the range of evaluation theories has continued to grow, evaluation scholars and practitioners have developed various visualized classification frameworks of evaluation theory, invoking images such as trees, rivers, the periodic table, metro maps, concept maps, and most recently gardens. This special issue explores different visualizations of evaluation theory and discusses their benefits and implications for the practice and profession of evaluation. We hope you find this interesting, informative, and useful.
