Evaluation use was identified by Henry and Mark (2003) as being the
single most studied area in the field of evaluation. They refer
with a sense of nostalgia to the 'golden age' of research on use
perhaps almost implying that it came and went. Professor J. Bradley
Cousins has had a longstanding and continuing commitment to
advancing theory and practice regarding use through empirical
research on evaluation, and through the professional development of
students and practitioners within North America and
internationally. The important influence and impact of the
contributions of Cousins and associates is the focus of this edited
book. This book brings together a distinguished, international
group of authors, to reflect on the areas of contribution of
Professor Cousins, and situate his work within contemporary areas
of evaluation research and practice. Each chapter describes how the
study and practice of evaluation has weaved its way through our
understanding of organizational learning, participatory evaluation,
and evaluation capacity building. The book concludes with a
reflection by Professor Cousins himself on what these insights mean
for the field of evaluation, and what future areas of research and
contribution can be planned for and anticipated.
