Th e challenge in researching individuals undergoing a transition is to adequ ately capture their reality\, which shifts as they progress through this p eriod of change. Using the example of the transition from doctoral student to early career academic\, Transitions Theory (a theory developed in the discipline of nursing to address how individuals respond to changing life circumstances) and liminality (a concept developed in the discipline of an thropology to understand rites of passage) will be discussed as a lens to help understand the transition experience. Several aspects of transitional experiences will be explored\, including shifting information needs\, cha nging information resources\, information seeking for sense-making purpose s\, how individuals mediate between the known and the unknown\, and the im portance of affective experiences during transitions\n DTSTART:20200217T170000Z DTEND:20200217T183000Z SUMMARY:SIS Seminar Series - Rebekah Willson URL:/sis/channels/event/sis-seminar-series-rebekah-wil lson-320277 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
