In this paper we propose that learning in engineering involves taking on the discourse of an engineering community, which is intimately bound up with the identity of being a member of that community. This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…

Hugo, W. – South African Journal of Higher Education, 2009
Recent South African meditations on the complex nature of post graduate supervision and teaching by Fataar (2005) and Waghid (2005; 2007) provide excellent accounts of the dialogic space between lecturer/supervisor and student. However, these accounts need to be supplemented by an explicit discussion of the broader academic communities of practice…

Ebrahim, Hasina – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2012
Global childhood as a concept privileges western ideals of how young children experience growing up, how adults educate them, and how priorities are set for them.
