Title
Identity and Transition across our Working lives
Abstract
Today, more than ever, career paths will be circuitous. Increasing longevity, accelerated technological change, organizational transformation, and unexpected shocks that disrupt our habitual routines join together to make for more frequent and more radical transitions across our working lives. This talk will focus on the relationship between identity and work, the nature of liminal periods in which identities are destabilized and the processes of reworking identity by way of activities, relationships and narratives.
