Integrating Multiple Identities: Narrative in the Formation and Maintenance of the Self in International School Students
Sears, Coreen
Journal of Research in International Education, v10 n1 p71-86 Apr 2011
This article reports on an investigation into the formation and maintenance of identity in globally mobile children and young people in the setting of an international school. The findings suggest that students at the school sustain composite identities that encompass their multiple experiences. The school itself offers a milieu which recognizes their way of life as the norm and with which they can identify. The data further suggests that narrative serves to integrate the multiple aspects of participants' identities.
