Why Am I Always Being Researched?
Chicago Beyond's guidebook on the power dynamics in research and evaluation between community organisations, researchers and funders. It names seven inequities held in place by power: access, information, validity, ownership, value, accountability and authorship. For each, it gives questions and tools that community organisations, researchers and funders can use to examine bias, share power and get closer to the truth about what works.

Transactions, Transformations, Translations
A report for funders and movement groups on how to measure movement building. It argues for metrics that capture both transactional and transformational change, with a matrix across 10 movement-building strategies. It looks beyond single organisations to whether groups can act together as a larger force, and asks that measures be co-created with the field. Recommendations cover new measures, capacity to use them, leadership development and movement-level metrics.
