Intercultural Communication Education
This book explores the notion of interculturality in education and supports scholars in their discovery of the notion. Continuing the author’s previous work, the book urges (communication) education researchers and educators to 'interculturalize' interculturality. This book corresponds to the authors’ endeavor to complexify the way interculturality is discussed, expressed, (co-)constructed and advocated in different parts of the world and in different languages. To interculturalize interculturality is to expand the way we deal with the notion as an object of scientific and educational discourse, noting the dominating voices and allowing for silenced voices that are rarely heard around interculturality to emerge. This book is based on broken realities and (the authors’) rebellious dreams. As two researchers and educators with a long experience examining discourses of interculturality, this book represents the authors’ program for the future of intercultural communication education. The book is divided into three 'tableaus' (living descriptions) depicting today’s 'broken' realities of interculturality and two 'rebellious' dreams of what it could be in research and education.
Intercultural Communication Education and Research
Seeking to uncover underlying epistemic invisibilities in generating intercultural communication education and research knowledge and to open up space for envisaging interculturality alternatively, this book reexamines and problematizes the assumptions and ontologies in the conceptual systems of interculturality. In enunciating and critiquing what has been largely endorsed, normalized and taken for granted, this volume brings to the fore different, changing and situated understandings of intercultural ontologies and epistemologies in terms of premises, workings and objectives, unveiling the entangled factors and contexts that have delimited and circumscribed the realm. The authors believe that the field would benefit from some cognitive and sensory dissonance while reengaging effectively with notions to move forward. In particular, they endeavour to de-monumentalize and disrupt the very conceptual tenets that may have rendered interculturality myopic, repetitive, monolithic and aseptic in expanding the epistemic concerns of the “intercultural”, especially in the English language. This book will be an essential read for scholars and students of the sociology of education, educational philosophy and intercultural education and also for all readers interested in the broad field of interculturality.
Intercultural Communication Education and Research in the Middle East and North Africa
This edited volume gathers insights into the production of knowledge about interculturality in education and research in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The MENA region is seen in this book as a space with unique circumstances, conditions and complexities that need to be thoroughly explored and further unpacked. The book defines intercultural communication education and research broadly, but focuses on how teaching and researching interculturality is understood and practiced in MENA formal education classrooms and in various training situations such as business, politics, media and communication. This edited volume aims to (a) navigate representations of intercultural communication in education and research, starting from the premise that interculturality is not only a theory of analysis but also an activism for social and epistemic justice, (b) investigate specific phenomena, challenges and issues in education and research, including concepts/notions such as acculturation and intercultural understanding/empathy, and (c) explore subfields of knowledge such as sense-making and intercultural pragmatics, and specific contexts of interculturality such as immigrants, exchange programs and student mobilities. This book will be valuable read for students, educators, scholars and policymakers interested in intercultural communication and education in the region, as well as language and sociology more broadly.
