Evidence In Action
What does it look like when evidence drives change for people and communities? To find out, we ask influential leaders the tough questions. How do you prioritize the roles of research and facts? How do you turn policy into practice? And how do you hold yourself accountable for diversity, equity, and inclusion progression in your leadership? Evidence in Action (formerly Critical Value) inspires changemakers to lead with evidence and act with equity. At a time when trust in institutions is low and the spread of misinformation is rampant, effective, inclusive leadership is more important than ever. Every episode, Urban Institute’s President Sarah Rosen Wartell and Senior Vice President Kimberlyn Leary will have in-depth discussions with experts and leaders on topics ranging from how to advance equity, public policy impact, and good governance, to designing innovative solutions that achieve community impact, to what it means to practice evidence-based leadership. This feed was formerly Critical Value, now it is Evidence in Action. Both podcasts are produced by Urban Institute and center public policy from an evidence perspective. The Urban Institute is a nonprofit research organization that provides data and evidence to help advance upward mobility and equity. We are a trusted source for changemakers who seek to strengthen decision-making, create inclusive economic growth, and improve the well-being of families and communities. For more than 50 years, Urban has delivered facts that inspire solutions—and this remains our charge today.

Love this way to learn more about UI’s work and the thought leaders who inform and inspire it. I always leave a conversation energized and anxious to share some of the high points - not to mention to get to work putting them into action!
New voice, same great evidence

In our politically charged times, it’s so important to base impactful decisions on reality, not on feelings. Are there outcomes we don’t like? If you would forgive a metaphor, many people want to change the destination and seem to think they are powerless to change our direction. I believe evidence can lead us to understand that we are in possession of a steering wheel and can make our own roads! Very excited for the new episodes upcoming.

Milner’s podcast finds the intersection between story-telling and data analysis in a way that’s engaging, entertaining, and thought-provoking. As an data science student, this podcast inspires me about what opportunities can lie ahead. It also provides warnings about the societal impacts that these technologies have on society and how I can take personal steps towards creating equity and fairness in technology.
