Hall appointed associate editor of the American Journal of Evaluation

Jori N. Hall, associate professor in the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, and Policy, has been named associate editor of the American Journal of Evaluation.

The American Journal of Evaluation is a prestigious, peer-reviewed journal that publishes four times per year focusing on evaluation methodology, theory, and policy. Manuscripts submitted feature diverse viewpoints in evaluation practice related to a multitude of disciplines including, but not limited to, health, sociology and education. The journal is sponsored by the American Evaluation Association, a professional association of evaluators with more than 7,000 members from the United States and 60 countries.

As associate editor, Hall will be responsible for helping to determine the appropriateness of submitted manuscripts and supervising the manuscript review process. Hall, a faculty member in the qualitative research program, will lend her expertise in educational accountability, qualitative inquiry, mixed methods research as well as evaluation theory and practice.

Hall will work with the journal’s editor, Sharon F. Rallis, a professor in the College of Education at the University of Massachusetts and the director of the Center for Education Policy there, as well as two other associate editors: Christina A. Christie, a professor at University of California, Los Angeles; and Keith Zvoch, an associate professor at the University of Oregon.

Hall assumes her new position this spring and will be working with the editorial team for two years.
