Title
The Art and Craft of Bricolage in Evaluation
Abstract
This CDI Practice Paper by Tom Aston and Marina Apgar makes the case for ‘bricolage’ in
complexity-aware and qualitative evaluation methods. It provides a framework based on a review
of 33 methods to support evaluators to be more intentional about bricolage and to combine the
component parts of relevant methods more effectively. It discusses two cases from practice to illustrate the value added of taking a more intentional approach. It further argues that navigating different forms of power is a critical skill for bricolage, and that doing so can help to ensure rigour.
