In this course, we examine the scholarly history of intercultural and cross-cultural communication along with conceptual and empirical challenges in doing this type of inquiry. Several contexts will be studied from the point of view of forms of cultural wisdom and variation in practices. Larger questions of identity, diversity, and intercultural competence will be explored, especially through filters of globalization and ethical issues in intercultural relations. Students will have regular reading assignments, short reaction papers, give oral presentations, and write a final research paper or proposal, depending on their stage in their programs.
