Identity http://www.epforum.org daily 1 2011-02-14T12:28:10Z ePIC 2012 http://www.epforum.org/add/europe/uk/epic2012 9-10-11 July 2012, London, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the international ePortfolio & Identity Conference. After Boston in 2011, London will also welcome the second ePortfolio World Summit.

The conference provides a forum where researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, teachers, trainers, human resource managers and technologists can discuss theoretical and practical aspects in the planning, design, implementation and impact of ePortfolio and identity programmes, applications and services.

Since 2003 we have established a solid track record as a leading forum for connecting practitioners, researchers, technologists and policy makers in exploring ePortfolio and Identity practices and technologies. The conference is appreciated for its ability to explore current issues while leading the path towards possible futures. Past events have resulted in transnational projects, contributions to policies and standards, networks and partnerships as well as numerous publications.

This workshop is one of the very first stages towards the publication of an open textbook addressing the issue: "How Digital Technologies Reshape Identity Construction in the 21st Century." The objective of the workshop is to: collect the first inputs of the community on the book project; agree on book objectives, book structure and core areas to be covered; identify research questions, potential contributors and potential sponsors. The abstracts will be published in special book of abstracts and in ePIC 2012 proceedings.  

The environment in which we construct and express our identities in the 21st century is being dominated by the ubiquitous presence of digital networks and media. To what extent do digital networks and media contribute to renewed forms of emancipation and/or alienation? How can we maximise their beneficial effects to empower autonomous identity construction, whilst minimising adverse consequences? Does the emergence of a Cyberspace challenge our current understanding of identity construction? Is it primarily an issue of 'assimilation' (integrate new means to do slightly differently what we did before) or 'accommodation' (the need to transform our representations and invent new practices)?  What is the impact on the future of education, practice, research, technologies, business models, policies, etc.? Is there a risk that identity-related technologies and regulations might be retrofitted to the 'real world' with negative consequences on our freedom? How can citizens be empowered to make contributions to the technology and policy debates on identity issues?
