Investigating the interplay between space, time and identity construction, this book brings to focus how spatiality and temporality have been largely overlooked in the study and theorisation of identity construction.

Offering Gloria Anzaldúa concept of 'conocimento' as a theoretical tool for analysing identity construction, the book investigates how doctoral students hold varying assumptions about their intellectual identity, where the doctoral process enables them to deconstruct and reconstruct these identities. Chapters examine the implications for scholars who find themselves in the in-between space of transitional identities, advocating the need for innovative identity theorisation to strike a balance in the shifting dynamics between different presentations of identity and belief systems. Bringing together Lefebvre's theorisation of the relationship between space and the body in rhythmanalysis and Anzaldua's theorisation of the relationship between the body and identity construction, the book offers a transdisciplinary reading of space, body, and identity.
