This chapter examines how action research can (co-)produce counter-hegemonic knowledge in the context of sustainability transitions. It does so by first exploring critical traits in transition research and action research, after which it presents a heuristic for scientific activism vis-a-vis transition knowledge, which I call transition scientivism. This framework builds on recent work in the field of transition informed action research, and is based on four critical-relational roles of the researcher: (1) the counter-hegemonic knowledge broker; (2) the radical change agent; (3) the critical-reflective scientist; and (4) the critical self-reflexive scientist. The chapter then presents action research practices in the case of urban community gardening in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, after which the case is reflected along with the transition scientivist heuristic. I argue that transition scientivism provides a fruitful entry point to combine transition knowledge production with academic activism.

Social research on water is often critical or applied but rarely both. In this chapter, we share our experiences of negotiating tensions of critical and applied action research through the interdisciplinary and cross-sector UK water research project TWENTY65. By stressing a variety of perspectives, and highlighting the plurality of available options, we argue that action research on water can be constructive, collaborative and yet still critical. However, three key issues of performing action research seeking to support transformative change in technical fields are identified. These issues relate to translation and integrity, applicability, and influence. Despite this, we argue that action research is particularly suitable for working in technical fields because these areas significantly impact upon society and the environment and still are dominated by technocratic decision making with limited democratic or social justice input. Action research in technical areas provides an opportunity for social science to present its perspectives outside of ‘normal’ social science contexts, supporting greater attention to ethical, justice and environmental concerns. Applying critical action research to water management enables informed dialogue with technical decision makers, raising and pushing forward socially and environmentally progressive futures.
