Ms Aiysha Jahan
Postgraduate research student

Ms Aiysha Jahan is Postgraduate research student within English at the University of Southampton.
I'm an Adult Third Culture Kid (ATCK) who grew up in Dubai and has lived, studied and taught in countries around the world. A couple of years ago I decided to take a break from teaching to study for an MA in Creative Writing at the University of Southampton. The MA reminded me just how much I love writing (and the academic environment that a university offers) and in 2013, I returned to Southampton to work towards a PhD in Creative Writing which focuses on the lives of Third Culture Kids (TCKs).
