Approach

Activism is a movement to permeate knowledge-based understanding and action through meaningful research on everyday Ilife. It is a movement to bridge social research with the practices in real-life situations. It is also a movement to make social science public while acting beyond the mainstream exercise of doing social sciences within the academic boundaries. It aims to make social research a material force for reshaping everyday practices. It is neither like a think tank for prescribing policies to the governments and nor like a psychotherapeutic intervention to heal up mental illness and bringing happiness. The very purpose of Activism is to make social research popular for making everyday life meaningful and worth living at all levels and categories of the population. It would like to promote research for unleashing the positive force of human action through effective self-governance at the best of the situation.  Praxis, functionality, and engagement are the keys to comprehending the kind of self-governance where both understanding and examining life under concrete circumstances is imperative through the lens of research-based systematic knowledge. Inspired by the Socratic elenctic method and critical philosophy of social sciences and informed by the multidisciplinary research across disciplines Activism initiates a conversational form of cooperative and argumentative dialogue with the cases and respondents following research both at the individual and aggregate level. This unique process of conversation is relied on a double-edged process of learning and helping the sufferer to make effective changes in the light of research. The very objective is to stimulate critical thinking for uncovering and acting upon the inconsistencies, disorderliness, and irrationalities in beliefs, perceptions, and resultant functions in the everyday system of praxis. Activism broadly understands those problems of inconsistencies, disorders, and irrationalities in mundane activities as functional problems and thus suggests the problem-centric intervention of social research to find practical ways of transcendence in a given context. This unique approach to research and intervention is based upon the following seven point’s perspectives: 

  1. Activism means charity through knowledge.
  2. Activism means to think and act in a social scientific way.
  3. Activism means to transcend obstacles through appropriate praxis. 
  4. Activism means to understand the way human action shapes human life.
  5. Activism means taking social sciences away beyond the academic boundary.   
  6. Activism means to make social science concepts and categories useful for everyday living.
  7. Activism means to establish research-based knowledge as the rational basis for human social organizations.
