Overview
This network session explores the place of ‘identities’ within learning, teaching and assessment in higher education. How might the diverse and multifaceted positions of who students are or become, shape their possibilities for engagement and success in a global contexts? And, moreover, how might their identities and experiences, in turn, shape the practices, pedagogies and cultures of the academy?
