AEA Graduate Education University 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.
