Episode 16: Nobody Said It Was Easy – Where Evaluation and Facilitation Collide

Carolyn and Brian are joined by special guest Chris Corrigan (http://www.chriscorrigan.com/) to talk about the intersections and interconnections of evaluation and facilitation. Are they warring factions? Soulmates in complexity? Can we “recover learning from the trauma of being judged” and move into a joyful practice as we navigate expertise in complexity for social change? Where does “mooshing” come into all of this? What do facilitators and evaluators have to offer each other and what can we wrestle with together? Tune in and find out! Bonus content: soccer, nonlinear pedagogy, and Brian’s bookclub foibles, not necessarily in that order.
