Being a Rootless Third Culture Kid | Benjamin Self | TEDxUofL

“Coming to Terms with the Weak ‘Connectivity’ of a Third Culture Upbringing” Benjamin Self, TEDxUofL 2015, Feb 28, 2015, Session 3: Dynamism While affirming the many benefits of international exposure, Benjamin Self asserts that such an upbringing often leaves “Third Culture Kids” (TCKs) with a nagging sense of rootlessness – of lacking belonging, a proper home, a stable and shared identity. This rootlessness tends to manifest in what he calls the weak local “connectivity” of TCKs. Benjamin Self is a dual citizen and TCK who split his childhood between the U.S., Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. After graduating from high school, he earned his B.A. in History at Earlham College in Indiana. Then following a two-year stint in D.C., he moved to Canada, where he attained an M.A. in International Affairs from Carleton University. Since completing the program, Ben has lived happily in his "home" state of Kentucky, and is now on his second job there in the nonprofit sector, with plans to, perhaps, even stay awhile. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
