1. Essay by David Buckingham: Introducing Identity

"I found particularly helpful the first piece on “Introducing Identity” by David Buckingham, which took on the hard definitional and discipline-related questions of identity in this context. He put a huge amount of scholarship into context, with sharp critiques along the way." (http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/digitalnatives/2008/01/10/macarthurmit-press-series-on-youth-media-and-learning/)
