Most research on activist participation has aimed to explain motives to engage in protest and collective action or becoming an activist. The outcomes, for the individual, have been neglected. Therefore, we set out to systematically document and organ... Read More about The biographical consequences of protest and activism: a systematic review and a new typology.
