Cognitive activism

Cognitive activism

Cognitive activism is a type of activism that aims to bring about social change by evolving the way we think about things, often by reframing debates or redefining terms.[1] Frank Luntz and George Lakoff are exemplary cognitive activists, although most activists participate in cognitive activism to some degree.
