About this episode

The episode explores the effects of being caught between two cultures and the emotional challenges that arise from intragroup marginalisation.

Ever heard of intragroup marginalisation? No, nor had we. But what effect can being caught between two (or more) cultures have on a person? How does that constant niggling fear of rejection or guilt potentially impact much larger emotions? Annabel and Ian discuss, examine this concept at a personal level and consider why it is so rarely talked about.
