Rhizome is coordinated by Steven Warburton, King’s College London. He is the project manager and lead researcher on project theme 3 ‘Identity literacies and competencies’ and theme 4 ‘Interactions between live identities: the social aspects of online identities’.
Margarita Pérez-Garcia, an experienced independent researcher, also forms part of the core project team. She is responsible for theme 1 “the Digital identity landscape’ and theme 2 ‘Functional identities in use’. Within this framework of themes she will be working on the literature review, the mapping and analysis of identity related tools, and the collection via narrative inquiry of stories of the digital self.
Graham Attwell from Pontydysgu completes the team, and leads the work with our stakeholders: responsible for the organisation and animation of the workshops and the awareness campaign.

Steven Warburton says:
So we have the four following themes within the project:
1. Digital identity landscape: what are online identities and how are they implemented?
2. Functional identities in use: Online identities, what for? What is the spectrum of identity related transactions (LLL)?
3. Identity literacies and competencies: How do we create online identities and the rhetoric of the self?
4. Interactions between live identities: How do identities interact? Social, ethical and security dimensions.
