Focusing on students’ cultural identities in a global era, the book explores how these identities are constructed, negotiated and redefined, and how they shape engagement with learning. It examines the influence of information and communication technologies and mass media, including social media, as powerful forces of globalisation that continuously form, transform and shape cultural identities  across time, place and social context. The book analyses cultural identities as dynamic and socially situated, shaped by ongoing social, cultural, political and historical processes. It also considers the social factors that influence students’ learning in classrooms, highlighting how global forces intersect with local educational experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Zajda is a Professor at the Faculty of Education and Arts, Australian Catholic University (Melbourne Campus).
