Identity is a composition of the self, constructed through social contexts and ways of being consistent with particular social and cultural Discourses (Gee, 1999). Individuals are likely to have multiple identities that are constructed across a variety of situated social contexts. A situated identity that successfully enacts membership in a particular Discourse constructs and interacts in ways that are meaningful for that Discourse. Meaningful ways include modes and mediums for communication (forms of language), “actions, interactions, ways of thinking, believing, valuing, and using various symbols, tools, and objects” that are socially recognizable and meaningful to other members of that Discourse who share that situated identity (Gee, 1999, p. 21). As identities are multiple for individuals engaging in varied situated contexts, so identities are also in various stages of formation and negotiation with others. Identities may complement each other, directly oppose others, or exist in temporally parallel but not integrated spaces. Multiple identities exist within a social community, but not all identities are relevant simultaneously.
