Identity and Lifelong Learning in Higher Education
Learning and identity development are lifetime processes of becoming.The construction of self, of interest to scholars and practitioners in adult development and adult learning, is an ongoing process, with the self both forming and being formed by lived experience in privileged and oppressive contexts.Intersecting identities and the power dynamics within them shape how learners define themselves and others and how they make meaning of their experiences in the world.I Am What I Become: Constructing Identities as Lifelong Learners is an insightful and diverse collection of empirical research and narrative essays in identity development, adult development, and adult learning.The purpose of this series is to publish contributions that highlight the intimate connections between learning and identity.Our aim is to promote reflection and research at the intersection of identity and adult learning at any point across the adult lifespan and in any space where learning occurs: in school, at work, or in community. The series aims to assist our readers to understand and nurture adults who are always in the process of becoming.Adult educators, adult development scholars, counselors, psychologists, and sociologists, along with education and training professionals in formal and informal learning settings, will revel in the rich array of qualitative research designs, methods, and findings as well as autobiographies and narrative essays that transform and expand our understanding of the lived experience of people both like us and unlike us, from the U.S. and beyond. Volume One, Identity and Lifelong Learning in Higher Education, contains chapters by and about post-secondary educators and students.Together these chapters enhance our understanding of the inextricable link between learning and identity.

Co-Learning in Higher Education : Community Wellbeing, Engaged Scholarship, and Creating Futures
Co-Learning in Higher Education addresses topics critical to the future of higher education: the wellbeing of communities, engagement of scholars supporting new generations of social activists, and the renewal and expansion of educational and career pathways.It develops a theory of co-learning that engages students and professors across generations in partnerships with community organizations, schools, and corporations that solve emerging social and environmental challenges.Collaboratively written cases discuss community projects, engaging pedagogies, and action research projects.These co-cases demonstrate the power of using critical pedagogies and social action within troubling contexts, rather than assuming public policy changes are the only solution.Contributors explore mentoring, discuss pedagogies that promote community wellbeing and equity, address the urgency of change in universities, and reflect on the implications of this chaotic period for empowering social agency among youth in rising generations.This is a timely volume for scholars and students in higher education and educational policy.

Community Archives, Community Spaces : Heritage, Memory and Identity
This book traces the trajectory of the community archives movement, expanding the definition of community archives to include sites such as historical societies, social movement organisations and community centres.It also explores new definitions of what community archives might encompass, particularly in relation to disciplines outside the archives. Over ten years have passed since the first volume of Community Archives, and inspired by continued research as well as by the formal recognition of community archives in the UK, the community archives movement has become an important area of research, recognition and appreciation by archivists, archival scholars and others worldwide.Increasingly the subject of papers and conferences, community archives are now seen as being in the vanguard of social concerns, markers of community-based activism, a participatory approach exemplifying the on-going evolution of ‘professional’ archival (and heritage) practice and integral to the ability of people to articulate and assert their identity.Community Archives, Community Spaces reflects the latest research and includes practical case studies on the challenges of building and sustaining community archives.This new book will appeal to practitioners, researchers, and academics in the archives and records community as well as to historians and other scholars concerned with community building and social issues.

Transformative Learning and Identity
In the current ever changing world – the liquid modernity – the most pressing psychological challenge to all of us is to create and maintain a personal balance between mental stability and mental flexibility.In Transformative Learning and Identity Knud Illeris, one of the leading thinkers on the way people learn, explores, updates and re-defines the concept and understanding of transformative learning while linking the concept of transformative learning to the concept of identity.He thoroughly discusses what transformative learning is or could be in a broader learning theoretical perspective, including various concepts of learning by change, as opposed to learning by addition, and ends up with a new, short and distinct definition.He also explores and discusses the concept of identity and presents a general model depicting the complexity of identities today.Building on the work of Mezirow, various perspectives of transformative learning are analysed and discussed, including; transformative learning in different life ages; progressive and regressive transformations; motivation and identity defence; development of identity; personality and competence, and transformative learning in school, education, working life, and in relation to current and future life conditions. This vital new book by one of the leading learning theorists of our time will prove of lasting interest to academics, teachers, instructors, leaders and researchers in the field of adult learning and education.It will also appeal to many students and researchers of psychology and sociology in general.

In search of identity: Religion?
Religion can play a significant role in shaping an individual's identity. For some people, their religious beliefs and practices are central to their sense of self and provide a framework for understanding the world and their place in it. Religion can also provide a sense of community and belonging, as well as a set of moral and ethical guidelines that influence one's behavior and decision-making. However, for others, the search for identity may lead them to question or reject the religious beliefs they were raised with, as they explore different spiritual or philosophical paths in order to find a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. Ultimately, the role of religion in shaping identity is complex and varies greatly from person to person.

Archiving Caribbean Identity : Records, Community, and Memory
Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the "Caribbeanization" of archives in the region, considering what those archives could include in the future and exploring the potential for new records in new formats.Interpreting records in the broadest sense, the 15 chapters in this volume explore a wide variety of records that represent new archival interpretations.The book is split into two parts, with the first part focusing on record forms that are not generally considered "archival" in traditional Western practice.The second part explores more "traditional" archival collections and demonstrates how these collections are analysed and presented from the perspective of Caribbean peoples.As a whole, the volume suggests how colonial records can be repurposed to surface Caribbean narratives.Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by developing countries as they approach their archives, the volume considers how to identify and archive records in the forms and formats that reflect the postcolonial and decolonized Caribbean, how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary society and reflects Caribbean memory, and how to repurpose the colonial archives so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming its history. Archiving Caribbean Identity demonstrates how non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how folk-centred perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of records.The book should thus be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of archives, memory, culture, history, sociology, and the colonial and postcolonial experience.

Is gender identity sexist?
Gender identity itself is not inherently sexist. Gender identity is a deeply personal and individual experience that reflects a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. However, societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes around gender can be sexist, as they often reinforce traditional gender roles and perpetuate inequality between genders. It is important to separate the concept of gender identity from these societal constructs in order to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities.

However, the potential misuse of cloned genetic material could potentially lead to identity fraud if used to create false identities.
