Her talk addresses the "post-ID" world and seeks to distinguish between five post-ID faces:
1. Accented Identities and Languaging in the Postcolony (including "Writing with an Accent");
2. The DNA of Identity, including discussion of "The Limits of Whiteness" and "Fetishized Identities: Identity under Occupation";
3. Religious "Allegiances";
4. Sexual Dissidence; and
5. Transidentity Cards.
