To what extent do the interests of academics align with those of activists and change agents when it comes to monitoring social impact? This webinar invites you to explore this question with colleagues and with three academics who recently published a paper examining scholarship on social impact assessment and proposing a research agenda to advance theory and practice (Note: a PDF copy of the paper will be sent to everyone who registers for the webinar).
Activists are intuitively involved in the learning processes, even if they do not always refer (or want to refer) to this work as “M&A”, “MEL”, “MEAL”, etc. that are widespread in the philanthropy and international development sector, calling for more transformational approaches that link monitoring practices to realities and change processes on the ground and highlight the importance of testing new approaches.
This webinar was designed to help identify potential intersections and opportunities between scholarship and practice, bringing social change activists into dialogue with academics, with a view to creating new avenues for collaboration and experimentation in the search for new alternatives.
The webinar will be part of a wide range of activities that are part of the “Road to Bogotá” and the #ShiftThePower Global Summit taking place in December in Colombia.

How closely do the interests of scholars align with those of activists and change-makers when it comes to the measurement of social impact? This webinar invites you to explore this question with peers and with three academics who recently published an article examining the scholarship on social impact evaluation and proposing a research program to advance theory and practice (Note: A PDF copy of their article will be sent to everyone who registers for the webinar).
Activists are intuitively engaged in learning processes, even if they might not always refer (or want to refer) to this work as “M&E”, “MEL”, “MEAL”, etc. Many have spoken up against the transactional and formulaic measurement frameworks that are pervasive in the philanthropy and international development sector, calling for more transformational approaches that connect measurement practices to realities and change processes on the ground and highlight the importance of testing out new approaches.
This webinar is designed to help identify potential intersections and opportunities across and between scholarship and practice, by bringing social change activists into dialogue with academics, with a view to forging new pathways for collaboration and experimentation in the pursuit of new alternatives.
The webinar will form part of a broad range of activities that are part of the “road to Bogotá” and the #ShiftThePower Global Summit that will take place in December in Colombia.
