Tidying up my digital identity

Earlier this week I was asked to present on a Digital Identity panel hosted by Oxford Brookes University, alongside Josie Fraser, George Roberts and Patsy Clarke. The panel session focused on ‘Protecting and reflecting yourself online, issues of responsibility, trust and control’ and the presentations were as follows:

• Josie Fraser – The contemporary privacy debate; “friending” your students
• Helen Keegan – The evolution of a personal professional identity
• George Roberts – Conflated meanings at the institutional (and demonic) level
• Patsy Clarke – publicly private and privately public

I was asked to discuss multiple identities and representations, exploring identity play and the interactive tensions between individual and community.
