“…Theory can be built on testable hypotheses which include aspects of prediction, verification, falsification and explanation (Gorelick, 2011). It can be ‘a system of interrelated concepts and propositions’ (Klyukanov, 2020: 2). And it can result from the uncovering of principles (O’Connor et al, 2019).…”

This article argues that not only is theory building from qualitative evaluation possible, but ought to be considered as a desirable product and utilisation of evaluators’ work. Based on three case studies, the authors show how theory building can work, and why it can be important and useful. Theory building is seldom considered an impact-producing product from evaluation. Theory in evaluation is typically limited to ‘evaluation theory’ as a way of explaining why and how different approaches to evaluation work. Theory is also used to inform programme design and ‘theory of change’. The literature seldom suggests that evaluations can be used to build theory in social sciences. The argument presented in this article builds on literature of ‘theories of evaluation use’ to suggest that theorising is a form of knowledge utilisation arising from well-constructed, open-ended evaluation questions, and conceptual use of findings and recommendations.

“…Klyukanov (2020) suggests that ‘A theory is a system of interrelated concepts and propositions, explaining the nature of a certain object’ (p. 2). Based on his work in the field of intercultural communication, he draws on theories and propositions to generate a set of principles, which he suggests are the bases of good practice.…”

“…When individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds engage in communication, they bring their unique perspectives and ways of expression, which can lead to both enriching exchanges and potential misunderstandings. It is essential for effective intercultural communication to acknowledge and appreciate cultural diversity while promoting empathy, tolerance, and the ability to navigate cultural differences constructively (Klyukanov, 2013).…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate dynamics of cultural diversity and intercultural communication in the era of multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Brazil showcases a vibrant blend of cultural diversity and cosmopolitanism, where various traditions coexist. While cosmopolitanism fosters openness to global perspectives, social and economic inequalities persist, impacting access to opportunities. Ethnic and racial tensions remain, particularly affecting marginalized communities. In summary, Brazil's multicultural landscape presents a dynamic mix of cultural influences, but challenges related to inequality and cultural identity preservation persist. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Cultural pluralism theory, cosmopolitanism theory & contact theory may be used to anchor future studies on dynamics of cultural diversity and intercultural communication in the era of multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism. Organizations, educational institutions, and community programs should prioritize intercultural competence training. Advocate for multicultural policies that recognize and celebrate cultural diversity within societies.
