This research investigated the characteristics of a political socialization process in a group of student activists from three academic areas of the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. An empirical and descriptive qualitative study was conducted as part of the research process and the biographical perspective of students’ life stories was recovered. 18 interviews were conducted with university students who had been involved in student political organizations or student unions for at least three months. The data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results led to a reflection on the articulation of latent and evident political learning that was based on previous political experiences. It was also possible to recognize three different types of political activism trajectories in the narratives of these students, accounting for the plurality and diversity of this phenomenon.

Authors key words: activism trajectories, activist biography.

Keywords : youth; political socialization; political psychology (Thesaurus of the Iteso digital repository)..
