Topic

Commission on Native Children Virtual Hearing: Research, Evaluation, and Data Collection

Description

This panel will address the opportunities and challenges for researchers and evaluators to conduct ethical, culturally responsive, and inclusive research and evaluation in Native communities, and to provide valuable data to support improved programming and results for Native children.  More contemporary approaches to data sovereignty and participatory research/evaluation have created more respectful relationships between researchers/evaluators and Native communities. The panelists will provide academic and research perspectives on the best methods to engage in research and evaluation in order to improve educational, economic, health and justice outcomes for Native children.
