Acerca de los autores

Emily F. Gates is an evaluator, educator, and systems thinker who explores how evaluation can support meaningful, values-driven change in complex systems. An associate professor at Boston College, she teaches graduate courses in evaluation and mixed methods and regularly leads talks and workshops. Her work bridges theory and practice, with over 30 publications and two co-authored books―Evaluative Inquiry for Systemic Change and Evaluating and Valuing in Social Research. A recipient of the American Evaluation Association’s Early Career Award, she brings over a decade of experience in mixed-method evaluations across education, public health, and STEM. She lives in Boston with her partner, their curious baby, loyal dog, and seasonal garden.

Pablo Vidueira brings a global perspective to evaluation and systems change, with a focus on food systems transformation. He is Assistant Professor of Evaluation and Food Systems at Universidad Pontificia Comillas and Director of Evaluation for the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, a philanthropic network advancing just and sustainable food systems. Pablo has consulted with organizations including the World Food Program, UNFPA, and the European Commission, and collaborates widely across universities, foundations, and research institutes in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. He has served as president of APROEVAL, the regional association for evaluators in Spain and Portugal, and contributes to field-building through editorial work with New Directions for Evaluation. Trained as an Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer, he holds an MSc in Rural Development and a PhD in Program Evaluation. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking, drumming, and time with family and friends.
