From Transition to Service Provider Identity Adaptation
Repositioning transition as an ongoing process of identity adaptation rather than a single event at the end of service.
- Gemma Gardner, Lead researcher and author (AURIS Institute)
Methodology
A conceptual position paper, reference AURIS-RES-WPR-115-v1.1, arguing that transition is better understood as ongoing service provider identity adaptation. Built from the AURIS interview programme and the published literature reviewed in the evidence audit.
Limitations
A conceptual paper. It sets out a position and the reasoning behind it, and does not itself test that position empirically. The supporting interview dataset is still being collected and coded.
