Yes. Profesor Menendez has wrote some interessting papers about that..

Thank you! Can you point me toward a reference? I found the following - which is great for understanding the experience of the impact of social determinants. But I'm looking for something more specific to teaching/learning.

Menendez Tarrazo, Alicia. "Narrativas de la habitabilidad y la exclusion urbana en Vancouver." Atlantis, revista de la Asociación Española de Estudios Anglo-Norteamericanos 31.2 (2009): 95+. Expanded Academic ASAP. Web. 3 Jan. 2014.

Good question!

I´m writing about the liminal process too.

Natasha I Think you have to know a little about argentin's Anthropolist before to read Eduardo Menendez: http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?pid=S1851-16942010000100001&script=sci_arttext

Best regards

Rodrigo, great reference article - thank you. I'm definitely left ideas to consider: researcher as change agent for nations, the politics of creating transformative change from an academic position, the ethical obligation inherent in researcher relationships and fully understanding the philosophical perspective. I particularly appreciated the part about the anthropologist acting as a prophetic voice between two societies - being in one and representing another. It seems as if anthropological researchers accept the ambiguity of being liminal.

Liminal transition is a term used to describe the psychological process of transitioning across boundaries and borders. It is associated with ambiguity, loss of former structural ties and disorientation

In healthcare, liminal transition can be applied to the experiences of patients who are transitioning between different stages of care or different healthcare providers. For example, patients who are discharged from the hospital and are transitioning back to their home environment may experience liminal transition.
