The recently published article, Conflicts and Configurations in a Liminal Space: SoTL Scholars’ Identity Development, is the free sample for the 2nd issue of Teaching and Learning Inquiry, so anyone can access this article.  MRU’s Karen Manarin is one of the co-authors.

In it, the authors describe how “navigating among conflicting identities can lead us into a troublesome but deeply reflective liminal space, prompting profound realizations and the reconstruction of our academic identities.”  Thanks to the authors for helping to normalise the sometimes “unsettling” experience of engaging in SoTL!
