third culture kids

AEM #75 Nicky Moxey– ACES, Boarding School 

What are third culture kids? And what about military brats? 

And how does that link to boarding schools? 

Today I am speaking with author, Nicky Moxey about what third culture kids are. 

Nicky grew up in Africa but was sent to boarding school in the UK. 

She talks about the three different types of third culture kid - military, mercantile and missionary.

What is the difference between the three and why do third culture kids seem to struggle the most at boarding school? 

---

In today's episode we discuss these topics and why Nicky Moxey is a an author, an amateur historian and archaeologist who lives in the middle of rural Suffolk, UK. She is currently writing and editing a book about boarding school and has published several historical fiction books.

In this episode we discuss the experience of the third culture kid - children who spent one or more of their formative years outside of their passport country.

The scars of the Siege of Sarajevo have marked an entire generation of Sarajevans—and their children. How do children of Bosnian refugees growing up abroad form their identity? What culture do they belong to? Where is home? And what of Yugonostalgia among the post-1991 cohort?

An installment of the Diaspora Voices series. With Anja Savčić and Arnela Išerić. Co-produced with Jelena Sofronijević.
