@ Interesting angle…to explore ATCKs’ narratives with that goal. And I like how you can see that a strong commitment between colleagues will reach further and benefit the ones you’re working with.
Just curious… What kind of institution do you work at? (It sounds like a school…but what kind?) 🙂

@ Hi Amanda,
Thanks for your comment on my bio 🙂 I sure would like to buy your book, but as things are right now I have to wait with buying.
Hey you know what! I’ll ask my university library to buy it! They would be interested. It’s relevant for them to have.

@ Hi Preston :),

I smiled when I read about your profession “poor student” haha.
What are you then studying, to consider yourself as a poor student? 😉 Hehe.
Anyhow, nice to meet you and thanks for your nice group :).
I enjoyed reading what everyone wrote :).

@ Hi Karen, 🙂

Thanks for your comment on my page, I am glad to hear from you :). Your page is so pretty, well-done :).
I enjoyed reading your well-detailed presentation and I think it’s so cool that you are an “educational anthropologist” specialized in TCKS :). I had an “Introduction to Anthropology” class when I studied in the US last year and…[Read more]

@ Love what you’ve done with your page Karen. Great theme 🙂

@ Haha you like me?! YAY! Most of the time, I like people who like me too.

ADDED. 😉

ps. envy you’re going to the Faeroes!

@ Hello Karen, yes I am working towards an EdD in Leadership within a multicultural workplace i.e Dubai. Many of my staff are ATCK’s and I believe that by exploring their narratives I may find common personality traits which will allow us to strengthen our commitment to each other as colleagues. Ultimately, this would benefit the students of my…[Read more]

@ I love your bio—very lively. Thanks for commenting. If you would like to buy the book, I’d be happy to mail you a copy; I make a crush proof mailer for it out of a cereal box. I can sell to you for $20 plus $3 for postage. It’s $25 on Amazon or you can find it in Southeast Asia.

@ Welcome Amanda!
That book of yours “Diamonds in My Pocket” sounds like one I need to read 🙂 (Have just read a bit about it on the net).
Greetings ~ Karen Marie

@ Welcome Nathalie 🙂
Looking forward to hearing more from you.

@ Thanks for the response, Preston. That repatriation experience to Canada might have been a pretty challenging one although I am assuming you were really excited to go “home” which probably did not feel like home at all.. and still doesn’t!

Well, my parents were missionaries to Hong Kong for 3 years and to Japan for a total of about 5 and a half…[Read more]

@ hey Miyon, I was born and razed in southern Taiwan. My parents planted a church when i was born, and stayed there until just a few years ago when they handed it down to the locals. So my childhood was pritty much in one enviroment and in the same city. Didn’t really notice i was a TCK untile i moved to Canada. lol. So how about you, what other…[Read more]

@ Dan! It’s me Michelle Kim from U of I.
I didn’t know I would see you here. How did you find this page?

@ Hi Shane,
I just spottet the words ‘education management’ and ‘academic reseach’ and wondered if you’d like to connect with me(?)
I would really appreciate exchanging thoughts and ideas with you. Feel free to check out my profile to get an idea about what I’m working on and who I am.
Greetings ~ Karen Marie

@ Hi Ruth,

I’ve just read your article “Obama’s ‘Third Culture’ Team”. What an interesting article! Thank you for writing it and thereby giving a sharpened focus on the strengths of TCKs/ATCKs.

The article gives some valuable insights about TCKs and the TCK community. Insights I value, because I study TCKs/ATCKs and the TCK com…[Read more]

@ welcome Laura – let me know if you have ideas and feedback for the new social network!

@ : ) LIKE! x

@ Hi Preston, I am an MK who grew up in several countries including Japan. It looks like you are an MK too. What’s your story?

@ It looks like bulky muscles buffs and super giant bunny legs will help. Then everyone’s gonna start to take you seriously. as someone cute but also strong 😉

@ i play the piano as well as the flute, but mainly the piano…sometimes i find the flute too small in size like the way i am, and sometime people don’t take me serious enough because of that, so i prefer the big and all-so-grand piano : ) x
