Abstract

The dominant capitalist logic of profit is threatening lives and fundamental human rights of billions of people around the world. Engaged educational research is needed to create and maintain equitable and sustainable forms of livelihood and communal life. This symposium argues for activity-theoretical formative intervention research aimed at generating what might be called, in line with the conference theme, actionable knowledge. Actionable knowledge is typically possibility knowledge, in other words, knowledge about what might be possible new forms and patterns of objects and activities in our lifeworlds and societies. The papers in this symposium present instances of formative interventions aimed at actionable possibility knowledge in the service of equity and sustainability.
