On Thursday, February 23, 12:30-1:20pm CST, Adrianne Baumunk (Field Project Manager – Pacific, Seed Company) will present at DIU’s Academic Forum on “Language Development Cluster Projects: A Mixed Methods Analysis.” Her presentation will be available to the public via Zoom (details below), but also available in-person on DIU’s Campus in Mahler 5/7.
Abstract
After seventeen years of engaging cluster projects, this mixed methods analysis examines design and performance indicators of time, cost, and consultant checked verses to assess this strategy used in global Bible translation efforts. Though the cluster strategy is postulated to accelerate Bible translation and enable partners to bring an end to global Bible poverty in this generation, this twenty-million-dollar investment shows indications of underperformance. With the shared vision to reach all nations with a remaining need for scripture translation by the year 2025 looming, partnering entities need to decide if the cluster strategy is a viable investment to achieve this end. All are welcome to join us for this brown bag lunch.
