About

Social agency is the theoretical concept in social science that examines the capacity of individuals and groups to act independently and exert influence within social contexts, often exploring the tension between individual volition and structural constraints. It is fundamental for analyzing how actors navigate, reproduce, and potentially transform social conditions through their actions.
