2005 Joint CES/AEA Conference
October 26 to 29, 2005 (with workshops October 24 to 26 and October 30)

We live in a world of boundaries and borders

We live in a world of boundaries and borders — geographic borders, disciplinary boundaries, and intellectual territoriality. Competing models, professional jargon and alternative frameworks sometimes divide us — as do perspectives, contexts, cultures, politics, values, and experiences. These differences also provide opportunities for cross-fertilization and possibilities for thinking about evaluation in new ways as we share diverse experiences and perspectives.

Boundaries and borders are human constructions. They can be and often are functional. While they sometimes create barriers to mutual understanding and communication, crossing borders and boundaries can offer opportunities for new syntheses, hybrid creations and creative partnerships. In the interest of the further development of the evaluation profession and international collaboration, the theme for the 2005 Joint CES/AEA Evaluation Conference in Toronto is:

Crossing Borders,
Crossing Boundaries
