Dear ROOMmates,
Click Here for Episode 6 of Voices from ROOM: A Podcast for Analytic Action, “Ruptures in Identity and Ideology with Coline Covington” is now available wherever you listen to podcasts.
This week, Isaac and Aneta talk with Coline Covington about how shifts in ideology affect us, how we struggle to maintain personal and group identities, how political events relate to our basic attachments, and more.
“Although I was rationally clear about why I had made this decision, emotionally, it made no sense to me. I was grief stricken and angry. I also felt I was betraying an intrinsic part of my identity, along with the values that I had held so dearly throughout my life. While many of us take our country of origin and what it means to us for granted, my act of effectively disowning my country made me powerfully aware that we all have some kind of national identity, whether we acknowledge it or not, and that this deeply affects not only our personal identity, but also how we see the rest of the world.” – Covington, “My Country, My Self: Separation, Identity, and Dissonance,” ROOM 2.19
