The conference invites contributions that explore how identities are constructed, performed, negotiated and reimagined in and through English across a wide range of contexts and modalities. Moving from the idea that identity is not something we simply have,
but something we do, the conference foregrounds the performative, processual and semiotic nature of identity, with particular attention to discourse, interaction, multimodality, digital mediation, embodiment, power relations and ecological concerns.</div>
