The Centre for Learner Identity Studies

Any learner’s motivation to learn, achieve and aspire to self-development is a fundamental product of who they believe themselves to be and how they feel about that belief. Nothing could be more central to the business of an education faculty.

CLIS is the Faculty of Education's research centre.

Welcome to the Centre for Learner Identity Studies (CLIS) website. CLIS seeks to bring together new and continuing researchers and scholars from education and other disciplines interested in matters surrounding learner identity. Its broader aim is to explore and critique the contexts that give rise to who, or what, learners conceive themselves to be, and the teaching and learning conditions that can affect identity formation and transformation. If you want to know more about the centre, or wish to join, please contact us.
