AEA GRADUATE EDUCATION DIVERSITY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (GEDIP)

DEADLINE: July 6, 2009

The American Evaluation Association welcomes applications for its
Graduate Education Diversity Internship Program that provides paid
internship and training opportunities for academic year 2009/2010.

GEDIP works to engage and support students from groups traditionally
under-represented in the field of evaluation. The goals of GEDIP are to:

Expand the pool of graduate students of color and from other
under-represented groups who have extended their research capacities to
evaluation.

Stimulate evaluation thinking concerning under-represented communities
and culturally responsive evaluation.

Deepen the evaluation profession's capacity to work in racially,
ethnically and culturally diverse settings.

Interns may come from a variety of disciplines, including public health,
education, political science, anthropology, psychology, sociology,
social work, and the natural sciences. Their commonality is a strong
background in research skills, an interest in extending their capacities
to the field of evaluation, and a commitment to thinking deeply about
culturally responsive evaluation practice.
