“Social justice and action research” – Dr Joan Walton

Quantum physics opens up the possibility of a new, participatory worldview; a worldview which proposes that we live in a universe where separation is an illusion, where participation means much more than the interaction of individuals, and where social justice is an ontologically significant principle embedded in reality.

In this paper Dr Walton aims to provide a theoretical rationale and methodology for the founding of a new social movement formed by intellectuals and advocates of social justice, and informed by a participatory worldview.

there are many thinkers and researchers whose ideas have reflected, both explicitly and implicitly, the perception of a reality which is entangled and inter-relational. For advocates of social justice, these ideas are worth exploring, as they can help us create a new paradigm that has social justice at the centre.
