Research as Pedagogy, Advocacy and Transformation

In collaboration with Gandhian Studies Centre of Dr BMN College of Home Science and St Xavier’s College, Mumbai

Bridging the gap between a structured curriculum and an alternative pedagogical model, PUKAR forayed into the mainstream framework of learning by launching the two-credit course titled ‘Research as Pedagogy, Advocacy and Transformation’ in November 2014. It is a platform to cross over from outside the system and step into creating an alternative space within the system. Undertaken as a course, it helps create an alternative pedagogical model, where youth would be encouraged to ask questions that are relevant to their life and their community, and through the tool of Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), seek hands-on experience towards finding answers.
