This chapter summarizes and presents several current insights into our current understanding of structural racism. It then argues that evaluators have a role and a responsibility to step further into the arena by explicitly addressing structural racism in our evaluation projects. Lastly, drawing on our work at BECOME: Center for Community Engagement and Social Change, it outlines three strategies evaluators can adopt too, as we suggest, “step further into the arena.”
