OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Combining qualitative and small-n methodologies in impact evaluation designs: theoretical aspects and lessons from experience - Methods in Social Policy and Intervention Research
This is a hybrid event
This addresses the application of small-n methodologies, mostly Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and Process Tracing, in policy and programme evaluation. It will provide an overview of possible methodological options and suggest criteria for appropriate choice (e.g. evaluation questions) and combination of options. More specifically, it will address the benefits brought by QCA and Process Tracing, and their variants. as well as their challenges and limitations.
Barbara Befani has 20+ years of experience in developing, testing, and teaching evaluation methodologies. In the last 13 years she has focused on innovative methods for qualitative impact evaluation, between academia and the evaluation market, both domestic and international. She has been Secretary General of the European Evaluation Society.
