activist research

Activist research is a way of studying social issues that actively aims to create change. Unlike traditional research, which only observes or analyzes, activist research seeks to empower marginalized communities, challenge injustices, and bring about positive social transformation. Researchers collaborate with communities, prioritize their perspectives, and often use findings to support activism. The goal is not just understanding problems but also contributing to solutions that promote fairness and equity. It combines rigorous investigation with a commitment to social justice, making research a tool for both knowledge and activism.
