This article questions whether social justice can live within the structural racism present in the field of evaluation. Structural racism refers to the totality of ways in which societies foster racial discrimination through mutually reinforcing systems of housing, education, employment, earnings, benefits, credit, media, health care, and criminal justice. In order for social justice to be a professional standard of evaluation, the field must recognize, identify, and modify persistent learned behaviors associated with structural racism. We assert that all evaluators, regardless of demographic designation, are subject to perpetuating structural and institutional racism, found in the history and systems of the profession, by tacitly accepting the status quo norms of evaluation practice. Current norms, policies, and practices compromise the normalization of social justice in evaluation. Evaluators sanctioned and reinforced by their professional association, the American Evaluation Association, have the power to modify behaviors of evaluators that perpetuate social injustice in the discipline and field of professional evaluation. We highlight pioneering literature that intellectually protest and position paradigm shifts for equity. We acknowledge the presence of racial and ethnic colleagues, and professional statements about social justice as confrontations to structural racism found in the history and systems of the evaluation field. Finally, we propose a framework for professional behavior modification as a strategy for the extinction of structural racism in evaluation and assert that social justice can only be realized when structural racism is eradicated.

社会正义可以生活在结构性种族主义的房子里吗？评估领域的问题

本文质疑社会正义是否可以存在于评估领域中存在的结构性种族主义中。结构性种族主义是指社会通过相互加强的住房、教育、就业、收入、福利、信贷、媒体、医疗保健和刑事司法系统来助长种族歧视的所有方式。为了使社会正义成为评估的专业标准，该领域必须识别、识别和修改与结构性种族主义相关的持续学习行为。我们断言，所有评估人员，无论其人口特征如何，都会通过默许评估实践的现状规范而受到职业历史和系统中长期存在的结构性和制度性种族主义的影响。当前的规范、政策、和实践损害了评价中社会正义的正常化。由其专业协会美国评估协会批准和加强的评估人员有权改变评估人员在专业评估学科和领域中延续社会不公正的行为。我们强调了在智力上抗议和立场范式转变以实现公平的开创性文献。我们承认种族和民族同事的存在，以及关于社会正义的专业声明，作为对评估领域历史和系统中发现的结构性种族主义的对抗。最后，
