Itineraries of Identity in Undergraduate Science
Bucholtz, Mary; Barnwell, Brendan; Skapoulli, Elena; Lee, Jung-Eun Janie
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v43 n2 p157-172 Jun 2012
Building on recent linguistic-anthropological work that investigates the temporalities of educational processes, the article examines how a marginalized classroom identity is interactionally formed over time in an undergraduate chemistry laboratory. The analysis demonstrates how social marginalization is enacted along multiple temporal scales via stance taking, participation frameworks, and intertextuality. The findings indicate that the paths that identities travel may not be mapped out entirely in accordance with scholarly expectations.
