I've also been thinking about how to frame activism as research. My current idea is to use social entrepreneurship.
There are currently two broad approaches to social entrepreneurship. 1) Unflagging community organizers who trying to solve social problems. Think Bill Drayton and Ashoka. A book that typifies this approach is "How to Change the World" by David Bornstein. 2) The application of business principles to social problems. Not surprisingly, this turf has been grabbed by business schools.
The research question would be to adjudicate between the two camps-- which is right? Do an experiment where you use both approaches and see which works.
