Aims

to explore the nature of identity and then its subcategory of digital identity
to consider the concept of identity projects and how these might be enacted – in part – online or digitally
to examine our own online identity practices and activities
to set the concept of online identity in a contemporary context in which there are multiple uses of the term identity circulating in a number of public discourses
to present the notion of hybridity through key texts in (digital/online) identity studies, Bayne’s (2004) Mere Jelly, Bhabha’s (2004) Location of Culture, Haraway’s (1985) Cyborg Manifesto

Learning outcomes

At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

articulate their own understanding of the nature of human identity and how this is worked out in online/digital environments
explain their own online practices in terms of identity projects
explain steps that can be taken to better manage their online identity practice
build on the concept of multiple hybrid identities in order to more effectively represent themselves to different audiences in different spheres.
