This is ongoing work that contributes towards the development of a suite of resources and strategies for helping learners in the mathematical sciences work towards fulfilling their potential by successfully negotiating and passing through liminal spaces. This project is a...

We prove that the C *-algebra of a directed graph E is liminal iff the graph satisfies the finiteness condition: if p is an infinite path or a path ending with a sink or an infinite emitter, and if v is any vertex, then there are only finitely many paths starting with v and ending with a vertex in p. Moreover, C * (E) is Type I precisely when the circuits of E are either terminal or transitory,...

As a socially, culturally and sexually constructed space, the nude beach has been the focus of academic research. Some studies have analysed the nude beach as a place where erotic relations and meanings among men are performed, constructed, negotiated and transformed. Th ese studies however have seldom acknowledged the multiple dimensions of sexualised practices and subjectivities taking place ...

The history of anthropology has tended towards two extremes in its analyses of the works of Franz Boas: aggrandizement or underestimation. This disparity can be explained by the author's liminal relationship with two research approaches in anthropology: universalist theories (evolutionism, difussionism, racialism, etc.) and culturalist theories, prevalent between the late nineteenth and early t...
