Abstract
Agency may be doubted or seen as displaced or defused away from the individual and merging into social contexts. However, critical realism does the groundwork of unravelling problems to provide a firmer theoretical basis for social research. This chapter summarises some key concepts in critical realism, which help to validate real agency. Most of the examples are drawn from research in two primary schools in urban Tanzania.
