Alison M. Meadow, Ph.D.
Evaluator and qualitative researcher.
Specializing in societal impacts evaluations for climate change and environmental research programs.
Introduction
I bring my multi-disciplinary background in anthropology, urban planning, and climate change adaptation to the work of helping researchers engage with societal partners and maximize their positive impacts on our communities and our environment. I use evaluation tools to help support and strengthen engaged research practices.
What I Do
I use qualitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, and focus groups, to conduct process (formative) and impact (summative) evaluations for programs and projects that seek to connect science to decision making.
