Inspired by Gloria Anzaldúa’s words, "Voyager, there are no bridges, one builds them as one walks," this graduate research forum invites exploration of the concept of liminality across disciplines. We seek to understand how individuals and communities encounter, negotiate, and transform within transitional spaces, and how these spaces may foster imagination, resistance, and new connections—or give rise to new configurations of power and domination. The forum also considers how public sociologists and scholars from diverse fields may participate more meaningfully in the liminal space of university-community relations. The presenters are students in 15 graduate programs at York University in Toronto, Canada.
Please see the conference program for a schedule of the sessions and abstracts for the presentations.
