Identity Work:
Exploring Identity and Subjectivity in Educational Research
Tuesday 29 July 2008
9.00 am–4.00 pm
Punt Hill Hotel, 300 Burwood Highway, Burwood
In August a group of Deakin academics gathered together in Melbourne at the Punt Hill Conference venue in Burwood to discuss identity and subjectivity. Identity and subjectivity are somewhat contentious and highly unsettling terms in educational research. We all understand and mobilise the terms in different ways
according to our theoretical perspectives and disciplines and most of us are still struggling with these notions. During this day long workshop we brought together voices from the different strands of EFI to discuss notions of identity and subjectivity, not as a way of gaining commonality and shared consensus but to explore, (re)present and discuss these varied conceptions.
There were three 1 ½ hour sessions in which representatives gave a short presentation followed by group discussion. Participants from the School of Education faculty and HDR students were able to attend as many of the sessions as possible as well as a lunch at the venue. The presenters were as follows (links will allow you to download the Powerpoint presentation):
