The coolest part in the doco I watched is this: He looks totally foreign, but he spoke Japanese so well that one Japanese guy that he met says to his agent standing nearby: ‘Is he Japanese?’ I was surprised that the asker thought it was possible that Jerome is Japanese considering how Japan traditionally has quite a narrow definition of what it means to be Japanese.

Kathleen Turner and Bette Midler are both ATCKs, as is Christopher Lambert- you can see Bette Midler adapted very skillfully and the KT and CL gave of themselves extremely.

Lost in Translation: Living in an alien culture

“Outlook recently broadcast a series of programmes ‘Lost in Translation’. Vera Frankl spoke to five people who had moved to Britain, from another country, at a very young age.

Vera discovered what it was like for these five people to be transplanted into an alien culture. Some came as refugees others as economic migrants. Whatever the reasons, it was a defining moment in their lives – and one they have struggled to come to terms with ever since.

When living within a new country a difficulty faced was how do you forge a new identity without losing a sense of yourself?”

SAU student still sees Africa as home
Teusink has made very significant differences in the lives of others. She acknowledges that she is no different from others, no matter what their standing in the world. She worked at an orphanage in Kenya, teaching children.

She has also done a lot of work with Third Culture Kids. Third Culture Kids are children who spent a great deal of their developmental years in a country other than their parents’ culture. Teusink described them as people who have no real home, that fit in everywhere, but belong nowhere. She started a group on Spring Arbor University campus called Mukappa, an organization to help Third Culture Kids get together, reflect and share their stories.

Global Branches Need Sturdy Local Roots
By Rahel Aima
Growing up as an expat brat in the United Arab Emirates really doesn’t do much for your sense of self identity. Instead of reinforcing my parents’ Indian heritage, I instead came to occupy the nebulous space of a third-culture kid. Shuffling somewhat awkwardly between national boundaries, third-culture kids are easily identifiable by their three passports and “international school accent.” There is a sense of being from everywhere but not really belonging anywhere, always global yet never local. Despite this, Dubai’s multiculturalism is something that I’ve really come to value. And when looking at colleges, Columbia did seem a touch more cosmopolitan and politically diverse, and just a bit less provincial, than Anytown, USA. The brochure looked good too. Students, scholars, and ideas from all over the world plus the privilege of being in a city as culturally rich and alive as New York? This, to me, was the power of a global university—it could root itself locally and still open its branches globally.
