Priya E. Abraham: Cyberconnecting – how to increase your virtual productivity through identity
30th November
In our virtual world of work, we all switch between the physical world and the digital world seamlessly. But how does our identity change and how can that help to build connections with remote colleagues?
In this fascinating session, cyber-anthropologist Dr Priya E. Abraham will explore the various strands of identity that we can use to build strong connections with others across boundaries. We all have a range of tangible and intangible identity elements coexisting and, once you know more about these, you can adjust each one to help you connect with others.
This session will give you new insights into your own personal identity map and help you gain a new perspective on how to connect effectively with people worldwide.
Priya’s recent book Cyberconnecting was published by Gower this year. You may contact Priya via her website.
Priya has given a 25% off offer for delegates to the Summit. You can find out more about the CyberIBT here.
Priya’s session is just under 38 minutes long.

Would you like to listen again? Will you be missing any of this week’s sessions? No worries! You can upgrade to receive access to all the 2015 summit sessions and then listen again whenever suits you. Click here. You will also receive full transcriptions of each session, once our transcriber, Kathryn, has finished producing them and you’ll be invited to take part in a webinar with Penny in December. Compared to the cost of any other BA conference, I’m sure you’ll agree that’s good value.

About each session:
Each session is available from 8am UK, 9am CET, 3am Eastern on each replay day. It will be available for at least 23 hours, until 7am UK time the next day.
The player should work with dial up connections as well as broadband.
A few things to note about this player:
You can use the bar to move forwards or backwards through the interview.
If you navigate away from this page, the player will stop. We’ve made sure that the links to the speaker’s websites and the LinkedIn group open in new windows, so these will both work without stopping playback.
If the player is not working for you, check that your volume is on and turned up.
If you can’t see a button with a black triangle on it or a player bar at all, then your firewall may be blocking the player. This has happened during this summit for people in a few businesses. In that case, try listening from home after work instead or upgrade to be able to be able to listen whenever suits you.
This player is available 23.5 hours per day except when we update it around 8am in the morning UK time (see a time zone converter to work out when that is in your timezone)
These players are updated each Summit day around 8am UK time. If you have an older one displaying, then your computer has stored it in its cache. Try turning off and starting again or contact your IT support team.
The player is visible from iPads, iPods and iPhones, as well as Android and Windows Phones.
