Abstract:
Changes in work and work organisation have led to an emphasis on the development of
new kinds of working identities, but there has been little empirical research on how these
new identities are being constructed in different sites. In a major project. supported by the
Australian Research Council (ARC). we are undertaking a large. qualitative and comparative study
of pedagogies of the new vocationalism. This paper outlines previous research and ideas being
brought together in this new project.
