Lecturer and Convenor, Evaluation of Evaluation
Lecturer and Convenor, Evaluation of Evaluation
School of Continuous Improvement
Dr Okafor trained as an evaluation methodologist before turning her attention to the evaluations themselves — the review panels, meta-audits, and quality-assurance cycles that assess how well an institution assesses. She convenes the School's Evaluation of Evaluation program, tracing what a review of a review actually changes and what it merely re-certifies, with a standing interest in the evaluative infrastructure that survives every round of streamlining aimed at it.
