Academic, Personal and Cultural Identities Community

The APAC Identities Learning Community is an interdisciplinary group that has been created as a means of exploring and understanding the professional and academic identities of Higher Educational practitioners. APAC serves as an acronym for Academic, Personal and Cultural. The goal of our group is not to seek uniformity but to draw together a diverse range of voices and discover what it means to be an academic in the present terrain within which we work and live.
