This commentary reviews "Negotiating Researcher Roles in Ethnographic Program Evaluation" and discusses the changing field of evaluation. It situates postmodern deliberations in evaluation anthropology and ethnoevaluation, two concepts that explore the interdisciplinary merger in evaluation, ethnography, and anthropology. Reflecting on Hymes's seminar work, the commentary invites reinvention of evaluation and consideration of its value, purpose, and use in scholarly analyses of schooling, human learning, problems of practice, the teaching of anthropology, and larger theoretical questions within the field.
