This week I’m talking to evaluation consultant and podcaster Carolyn Camman about radicalizing the apocalypse, queering objectivity, learning to listen to our bodies, and what the heck evaluation actually is. I learned a ton from this conversation, and I think you will, too! Here are some links!
- To learn more about Carolyn, read this recent blog post about re-framing evaluation as an accountability mechanism); listen to the Eval Café podcast; and check out the Evaluation colouring book!
- To contextualize our conversation about apocalypse, we talked about the podcast “How to Survive the End of the World” as well as Kai Cheng Thom’s book I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl’s Notes from the End of the World
- Carolyn also recommended “Changing the Culture of Research: An Introduction to the Triangulation of Meaning” by Manulani Aluli-Meyer and “Positional Objectivity” by Amartya Sen
- I recommended that you watch Netflix’s The Dragon Prince
- Here’s more on that story about settlers fleeing to remote Indigenous communities to avoid COVID-19
- You can watch the webinar on “Safe and Equitable Engagement Spaces in the Age of COVID-19” on YouTube!
- Read up on Decolonizing Wealth!
- Here’s a quick explanation of CERB and an article on safe supply in BC, for the non-Canadians out there.
- Learn more about the SFU certificate in Evaluation for Social Change and Transformational Learning and particularly the first course of that certificate, Transformative Evaluation Landscape, taught by Kim van der Woerd of Reciprocal Consulting, an Indigenous women-led evaluation consulting firm
- Read up on The Equitable Evaluation Initiative, which is run by Jara Dean-Coffey of The Luminare Group, and while you’re at it learn more about the LEVEL youth grants from the Vancouver Foundation, which are being evaluated using the EE framework
- And finally, an introduction to prison abolition.
The podcast theme song is “Mesh Shirt” by Mom Jeans off their album “Chub Rub.” Listen to the whole album here or learn more about them here. Carolyn’s theme song was “Adieu” by AIZA.
Secret Feminist Agenda is recorded and produced by Hannah McGregor on the traditional and unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

Previous Episode
Bonus Episode: Response to Review of Season 3
Those of you who have been following along at home probably already know this, but Secret Feminist Agenda is part of a collaborative project with Wilfrid Laurier University Press looking at ways to edit and evaluate podcasts as a form of scholarly communication. The first two seasons of the podcast received an open peer review, but for the third season we decided to do things a little differently:
To cap off our Scholarly Podcast Review project with Season 3 of Secret Feminist Agenda, we tried something different. We asked two of our previous reviewers, Cheryl Ball and Carla Rice to create their own podcast episode that reviewed the entire third season. Their conversation was moderated by Michael Faris, Assistant Chair of the Department of English at Texas Tech University and Managing Editor of Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy.
Season 3 Review CommentarySiobhan McMenemy and I also had an opportunity to respond to the peer review and to our sense of how this pilot project went in general. Feel free to listen in!

Bonus Episode: Secret Feminist Agenda and Peer Reviewing Podcasts at Mount Royal University
Another bonus episode coming at you! This one was recorded on April 4, 2019 at Mount Royal University and features me and Siobhan McMenemy interviewing one another about our collaborative work on peer reviewing podcasts. I don’t think there are a lot of links to add beyond that link to our own work, but I do want to point you towards this article on the significance of publicly engaged scholarship in review, tenure, and promotion documents by the scholars at the ScholCommLab.
Transcription to ComeA note about transcriptions: my goal was to get transcriptions more aligned with the release date of podcast episodes this year, a goal that has been significantly delayed by COVID-19 and the challenges facing my students. I want to highlight my commitment to continuing to improve on this front, including collaborating with colleagues on new podcasting workflows that can further automate transcription. More on that in the future!
The podcast theme song is “Mesh Shirt” by Mom Jeans off their album “Chub Rub.” Listen to the whole album here or learn more about them here.
