The event will feature a conversation with the editors and s everal of the contributors on Tuesday December 8th\, 9:30-11:00 AM EST (UT C-05:00) on Zoom.\n\nThis volume offers readers insight into social constr uctionist approaches to identity and authenticity. It focuses on the proce sses of identification and authentication\, rather than on subjective expe riences of selfhood. There are no attempts to settle what authentic identi ties are. On the contrary\, contributors demonstrate that neither identiti es nor their authenticity have a single or fixed meaning. Chapters provide exemplars of contemporary research on identity and authenticity\, with si gnificant diversity among them in terms of the identities\, cultural milie u\, geographic settings\, disciplinary traditions\, and methodological app roaches considered. In this panel\, contributors will introduce a number o f established and emerging identity groups including yogis\, fitness blogg ers\, international volunteers and social media influencers.\n\nFeaturing \n\nJ.
