The concept of “identity” is increasingly being asked to
bear a heavy theoretical burden in discourses concerned with education,
learning, development, and the relation of the individual and the social. I
would like to raise a number of critical questions about the concept of identity
in hopes of stimulating discussion in the education research community about its
uses and limitations and how it might be refigured, elaborated, or superseded by
alternative conceptualizations.
