Hulihia is to overturn, a complete change, turning upside down. Transformative ea through
kuleana invokes reflexivity. On one hand, it invokes the right to self-determination and the
inherent responsibility and privilege of our mea kuleana (stakeholders) to define and
pursue a future that reflects their dreams and aspirations for themselves and future
generations. On the other hand, it invokes the responsibility (kuleana) and power (ea) we
hold as evaluators to be agents of social change who "contribute to the common good and
advancement of a just and equitable society" (AEA, 2018, Guiding Principles).
With this theme, we are inviting presentations that call on us to reflect on our kuleana as individuals and a profession to use evaluation as a tool to hulihia or transform our societies and communities toward true ea for those who have been marginalized or oppressed. (For a fuller explanation of these concepts in practice, see the Evaluation with Aloha Framework and the AEA, 2018, Guiding Principles.)
The H-PEA annual conference has become truly international, and we invite participants from throughout Hawaiʻi and the Pacific region and beyond. The conference will feature roundtables, posters, paper presentations, panel and ignite sessions, as well as a pre-conference workshop. We are inviting presentations that call on us to reflect on our kuleana as individuals and a profession to use evaluation as a tool to hulihia or transform our societies and communities toward true ea for those who have been marginalized or oppressed.
H-PEA invites you to submit a proposal for one of the following opportunities in our in-person sessions offered on Friday, September 22, 2023:
Roundtable: 60-minute discussion; an opportunity to share a work in progress or an issue/concern. Roundtable presentations typically include a short presentation, followed by discussion and feedback. Roundtable presenters should bring targeted questions to pose to others at the table in order to learn from and with those attending. Roundtables are an ideal format for networking and focused discussion on a particular topic, including work-in-progress.
Poster: All poster presenters will present in a 60 minute session. All evaluation related projects are welcome. Posters have a chance to win a poster cash award. First place will be awarded $50.
Paper Presentation: approximately 20-minute presentation; one of three presentations in a 75-minute session.
Panel: 60-minute session on a particular topic or theme involving prepared remarks, debate, and/or discussion by 3 or more presenters.
Ignite Session: A quick paced presentation where the presenter presents 20 slides in 5-minutes on one topic. The slides will automatically advance every 15 seconds. Ignite presentation is short but takes some practice to do well. See American Evaluation Association tips for planning your ignite session.
Pre-conference virtual workshops are extended skill-building sessions lasting from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Your workshop should be designed with much of the time dedicated to hands-on activities that allow for participants to practice what’s demonstrated in a way that will lead to practical application. Proposed workshop abstracts should include an overview of the skills and concepts addressed, a general outline of the workshop, and the learning outcomes for participants. Pre-conference Workshop presenters are compensated by H-PEA. Contact us at info@h-pea.org for more information.
