BIO

About Sage Consulting: Sage Consulting builds community science capacity to eliminate the need for outsider knowledge to solve insider problems. We foster ethical, self-reflective, and globally-aware professionals who work to set a new global standard for how communities participate in research, program intervention, and evaluation. About Holly Scheib: Sage Consulting’s Director, Dr. Holly Scheib, has 20 years of experience in public health, social work, human rights, development, disaster, and advocacy, specializing in these areas as a capacity building partner in research, evaluation, and program design. She has conducted program design and implementation, research, and evaluation in human rights contexts all over the world. In addition to consulting, she has taught broadly in these complex issues at the graduate level and designed, lectured, and advised teaching programs for universities in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. She has held Associate Faculty positions at Tulane University and George Washington University, supervising and instructing coursework in qualitative, quantitative, and evaluative methods for the graduate program in Disaster Resilience Leadership. Her teaching and applied scholarship focuses on transformative evaluation and participatory approaches, areas that are core to her personal practice. These methodologies are core to her professional program development, evaluation, and capacity building approaches. In 2018, Dr. Scheib, with colleague Mr. Po Chen, Executive Director of Youth Heartline, a child advocacy nonprofit in New Mexico, were recognized as Fellows in the Research to Practice Fellowship sponsored by the Justice Research and Statistics Association, the National Center for Victims of Crime, and the Urban Institute.
