Featuring contributions from leading and emerging scholars across multiple disciplines, including communication studies, psychology, applied linguistics, sociology, education, and business, this handbook covers research spanning geographical locations across Europe, Africa, Oceania, North America, South America, and the Asia Pacific. It focuses on specific contexts such as the workplace, education, family, media, crisis, and intergroup interactions. Each chapter takes a contextual approach to examine theories and applications, providing insights into the dynamic interplay between culture, communication, and society.
From managing cultural diversity in the workplace to creating culturally inclusive learning environments in educational settings, from navigating intercultural relationships within families to understanding the role of media in shaping cultural perceptions, this handbook delves into diverse topics with depth and breadth. It addresses contemporary issues such as hate speech, environmental communication, and communication strategies in times of crisis. It also offers theoretical insights and practical recommendations for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and students.
The handbook is structured into seven parts, beginning with the theoretical and methodological development of the field before delving into specific contexts of intercultural communication. Each part provides a rich exploration of key themes, supported by cutting-edge research and innovative approaches.
