Hosted by the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Call for Submissions
The purpose of the Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment (CREA) Inaugural Conference is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the United States and internationally to focus on the role of culture in theory and practices of evaluation and assessment. The CREA conference will be unique in its definitive recognition of culture’s centrality to evaluation and assessment and will illuminate the landscape of culturally responsive evaluation and assessment, a space that remains largely uncharted. CREA specifically anticipates paper, symposia and roundtable submissions that address at least one of these four themes: 1) Defining culturally relevant assessment, 2) Documenting the use of culture in evaluation, 3) Pursuing social justice and, 4) Crossing cultural borders in evaluation and assessment. In addition, an international consortium of invited panels and speakers will address a diverse set of cultural viewpoints related to evaluation and assessment practice.
