Do these
electronic records, incomplete as they are, constitute my professional identity?
Your thoughts on identity and internet first occurred to me a few months ago when i read a posting concerning google searches, and i did a google search of my own name which threw up some interesting items, such as my membership of aoir and Anthropology In Action ... but also a link to my home page which I started about 10 months ago as a professional resume .. I am close to completing my PhD and a home page seems to be a requirement/advantage when job hunting as I can immediately direct someone there ... also it becomes a showcase for the IT skills (??) that I have learnt along the way. I regard it as a work in progress and yes.. it does constitute my professional identity .. such as it is ... also I have my own domain name so that as I change affiliations to different universities there will be a space that is always mine.
