Abstract

Through an analysis of a contemporary rite of passage‐the final stage of teacher preparation‐I develop a new theory of liminality that both builds on and extends Victor Turner's enduring insights. The analysis focuses on how preservice teachers in an undergraduate education program engage in a process of identity formation within an asynchronous, nondimensional, liminal space made possible and shaped by e‐mail and with the support of experienced mentor teachers.
