I am a career evaluator with a passion for learning and living. My philosophical approach to science is rooted in some of the ideas percolating in physics: we can’t really define (or “know”) something without understanding how it interacts with all of the other somethings. In SNAP-Ed evaluation, this translates to: When you want to know if, how, or why people, organizations, and communities change, you need to explore how they interact. Common sense? Maybe. But many research and evaluation projects rely on an atomistic approach.
