Sapna Thwaite will be doing a short talk and facilitating a discussion about a research study that she is currently conducting. It aims to investigate the qualities of a higher education context which stimulate and support identity work in leadership. In particular, it investigates the notion of “identity workspaces”, or physical, social and psychological environments where individuals can reflect, experiment, and develop with little risk of harming themselves, physically, psychologically, or reputationally (Petriglieri and Insead, 2010) in a higher education context. Thus far, she has interviewed US higher education administrators, but is hoping to also include a small group of higher education leaders in Germany.
