Save the Date: Identity development in Higher Education

We are excited to invite you to an upcoming conference focused on the identity development of students. Join us on September 30th from 13.00 until 17.00! The location will be announced at a later date.

During this conference we will focus on students’ identity development. What do we mean by identity? How can we conceptualize academic or professional identity? Which theoretical perspectives seem relevant for higher education? And how does identity development relate to subjectification, socialization and qualification as different – yet interconnected- aims of higher education. We invite all colleagues who have an interest in this topic, as researcher, as teacher, or otherwise interested in higher education to join us in our research-based exploration of this topic.

Would you like to actively participate in the conference, giving a pitch about current research, or be part of a workshop or panel discussion? Have you done or are you interested in research from an identity perspective? Let us know about it! Describe in a few sentences what you have done and send an email to her@uu.nlWe look forward to your insights and contributions.
