With each session, participants receive: 

  • Digital resources (articles, podcast episodes, videos) which will help you re-evaluate the way you use/produce evaluation and research findings, conduct your work and engage with research participants or grantees.

  • A Reflection exercise linked to that month's package of digital resources. These exercises will allow you to critically unpack how ingrained biases, privilege, and extractive practices are impacting research and evaluation.

  • Exclusive live discussions (with special guests!) to go deeper into the month's theme.  

Here’s what people are saying about Liberatory Resesarch…

  • “Liberatory Research offered me so much needed knowledge that is helping me feel more confident as I progress in my journey as a researcher.“

  • “I was challenged to think about making sure my work I do outside of this space is more aligned with a liberatory approach, that prioritizes the people I am in community with, and being less of an extractor and more of community servant and a compassionate listener.

  • “Liberatory Research has really pushed me to interrogate my approaches and how I want to be showing up as a researcher, evaluator, and person in the world.”

  • “Liberatory Research has been amazing and given me so much confidence in myself in how I approach research and evaluation."

  • “Deep bow of gratitude and respect; how I wish I had Liberatory Research in my life before.”

  • "I feel much more validated about my approaches being in community with people who are on a journey together. I have drawn on the resources from Liberatory Research on multiple occasions and continue to revisit questions and lessons when designing and making decisions."

FAQs

  • Each month, you'll be sent a curated package of resources. These packages include articles, media, and reflection questions. The questions are intended to challenge your assumptions about evaluation, research, and knowledge production and are the highlight of the intensive. You will also receive calendar invites to our monthly virtual reflection sessions beginning in late November.

  • We estimate 1-2 hours a week in terms of time commitment. With that said, it really depends on how deeply you review the materials and reflection questions. We encourage you to schedule a set time to engage with the materials so you aren't rushing before the monthly call.

  • Every intensive participant will have access to our group platform. Your questions, concerns, and reflections can be shared in a safe space with your cohort members who are on this journey with you. Additionally, the monthly virtual meet ups provide another opportunity to regularly connect with other participants.
