Persistence and Transformation of Political Involvement: How Activism Reverberates through Diverse Life Spheres

Abstract

This panel will devote special attention to how one's activist involvements in political events or in formal or informal collectives can impact various life spheres (professional, family, and private). Paper proposals could address such questions as how activist skills transfer into professional skills, how one's conceptions of family, affective relationships and friendship are revised or perpetuated, how activist social ties persist through time even after disengagement, and how commitments themselves are transformed or redesigned in the light of previous activist experiences?
