Abstract

In today's fast changing and interconnected global world, researchers in a variety of areas have come to see identity as an important analytic tool for understanding schools and society. A focus on the contextually specific ways in which people act out and recognize identities allows a more dynamic approach than the sometimes overly general and static trio of "race, class, and gender. " However, die term identítyhas taken on a great many different meanings in the literature. Rather than survey this large literature, I will sketch out but one approach that draws on one consistent strand of that literature. This is not to deny that other, equally useful approaches are possible, based on different selections from the literature. When any human being acts and interacts in a given context, others recognize that person as acting and interacting as a certain "kind of person " or even as several dif-ferent "kinds " at once (on the notion of "kinds of people " and the ways in which dif-ferent kinds appear and disappear in history, see Hacking, 1983, 1986, 1994, 1995, 1998). A person might be recognized as being a certain kind of radical feminist, homeless person, overly macho male, "yuppie, " street gang member, community activist, academic, kindergarten teacher, "at risk " student, and so on and so forth,

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
