Abstract of today's talk
When life throws at you life-changing problems of research it becomes an adventure. The researcher caught in the adventure is hardly likely to do research for the sake of research. Research ceases to be the end goal it becomes only a means.
Whenever research becomes a means, change research is born.
The poet in the researcher seeks to find expression to the designs and utopias of neverlands. It seeks to transform the dance of the domain of research to the tune of the beauty in the eyes of the beholder, the prophecy of the seer in the researcher or the music in the construction of a new universe.
My own journey from being a researcher to becoming a change researcher has been eventful, hardly dull and even life-transformative. I will share the making of a change researcher through a few of the diverse life-changing problems that serendipitously came my way.Brief profile of Dr. Anupam Saraph is attached here. |
