Performance identities and apprenticeship in England and Germany: a question of social justice? Seminar

The research introduces a methodological and conceptual framework that allows us to explore young people's construction of identity over time as well as in the specific learning sites of apprenticeship - the workplace and the college. The findings challenge one of the most common stereotypes of young people in British vocational education today - that they are natuarally 'non-academic' or 'practical' learners and raise important issues of social justice.
