In this episode, Carolina and Vidhya reflect on the tension among learning from the past, meeting immediate needs in the present, and both imagining and building a better future. We discuss evaluation’s origins as a tool for capital and grapple with our status as members of the professional/ managerial class. Folx with our training and current positionality find uncertainty “risky.” Whose interests do we ultimately serve? Could a solidarity economy offer evaluators a safety net or better fallback position from which to make collective demands—by organizing ourselves or joining existing movements that serve the working class?

⁠⁠Episode 1.3 TRANSCRIPT

Notes

  • 8:19, 19:50, 20:36: The author⁠⁠ and date of publication are ⁠⁠Edward Suchman and 1967.
  • 21:12: Vidhya meant ⁠⁠The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996⁠⁠
  • 24:44: It is racist in that there are no regular Black or indigenous characters. Additionally, although there IS an Asian adoptee and a Colombian immigrant character, the Asian adoptee is not old enough to speak for much of the show’s run. Jokes are made at Asians’ expense, including hers. Plots about the Colombian immigrant largely reinforce stereotypes about Latine women.
