THIRD CULTURE KIDS: THE IMPACT OF GROWING UP IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD

September 17, 2019 by Kathleen Rubin

Ruth Van Reken shares her insight on the griefs and gains of being the Third Culture Kid.

Third Culture Kids are those children who grow up in a culture that is different from their parents’ culture. The number of TCKs has increased as never before in History, and this is not without consequences.

Ruth Van Reken is a second-generation Third Culture Kid (TCK – a child who spends a significant period of time during his or her developmental years growing up in a culture outside the parents’ culture.), mother of three adult TCKs, and co-author of the internationally acclaimed book, Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds.

If you replace Nigeria with Mexico in my friend Ruth VanReken’s talk you’ll know how I grew up to become me, a TCK, a CCK, a Border Person.
