Third culture researchers

Lilia, of Mathemagenic, writes about the restlessness of being a Third culture kid and its influence on your research methodology.

Sometimes I find the restlessness and rootlenssness of being a Third culture person all quite overwhelming. Other times I find it empowering. Appropriation, pastiche and collaboration are our survival strategies. Multi-methods, multi-disciplinary... we are bricoleurs with hybrid methods. We are instinctive ethnographers.

I think that describes the meta-tribe we belong to Lilia. Dispersed, living the paradoxes of different Weltanschauungen. But we are here.
