The IRN was established in April 2014 by Chris Agius and Dean Keep. Based in Melbourne, it brings together over 100 researchers and postgraduate students from Australia and abroad working on themes of identity across a variety of disciplines.

The IRN is organised around three key nodes (Space, Place and Temporality; Self, Culture and Subjectivity; and Media, Art and Technology) which overlap and interact.
