MSIZA, Vusi; MBATHA, Nosipho  and  NDLOVU, Nokukhanya. Transitioning Between Spaces: An Intersectional Account of how We are Becoming Academics. Educ. res. soc. change [online]. 2023, vol.12, n.2, pp.15-27. ISSN 2221-4070.  https://doi.org/10.17159/2221-4070/2023/v12i2a2.

In this paper, we, as early career academics, share how our identities and transitioning between spaces contribute to our becoming. Using storyboarding, we draw on intersectionality and liminal theories to examine how our identities and our transition between the liminal and dominant spaces have influenced our identity construction and shaped our becoming. We learn that our identities are in a state of constant construction and that the academic spaces we have transitioned between are, and have been, significant to our becoming.

Keywords : identities; early-career academics; becoming; liminality; intersectionality.
