Eve C. Pinsker received
her in cultural anthropology from the University of Chicago
in December 1997. She conducted
38 months of field research over a 12 year period in the Federated
States of Micronesia on the connection of local communities to the
new national government. She began her 11 years of experience in
program evaluation in 1991 as a member of an interdisciplinary team
evaluating 70 Kellogg Foundation-funded community health projects
in diverse U.S. communities.
Applying the approach to conceptualizing
community developed in her overseas research to the evaluation of
collaborative programs for community development in the U.S., Eve
developed a conceptual matrix for data collection and analysis across
multiple projects and a tool for visualizing the connections among
multiple levels of community. After the completion of the Kellogg
cluster evaluation, she applied these tools to the evaluation of
programs including HUD-funded community-university partnership programs
at UIC and DePaul University, the design of HUD's national Community
Outreach Partnership Center program, The Partnership to End Homelessness
(a network of homeless service providers), and community and health
leadership training.
In 1999-2000, she held a Society for Applied
Anthropology Fellowship for cooperative work with Region 5 EPA,
examining the possibilities for community outreach on environmental
issues in Southeast Chicago. In addition to her current work at
UIC on evaluation and community assessment, she is Director of Faculty
Development, Department of Family Practice, Cook County Hospital.
She trains students and health professionals in qualitative and
ethnographic methods. Eve serves as senior associate for Lee Bruno
Assoc. on ethnographic community assessment for the Dept. of Labor
Youth Opportunity Areas program.
