Episode 20 - What makes home a home?
/

Where is home? Living between cultural worlds can make it hard to answer this question. In this episode, Joseph Shaules and Ishita Ray discuss what makes a home a home, including the “bridge person dilemma”—how foreign experiences can make us feel unrooted. We discuss the adjustment challenges of third-culture kids, and cultural marginality. We reflect on those who lose a home because of conflict or other disasters. Podcast contributor Zeina Matar shares her experience of loving . . . and losing . . . her home in Lebanon.
