This edited collection covers a wide range of research topics drawn from peace building, arts and media, education, anthropology, new communication technologies organizational communication, and more....The format of Case Studies in Intercultural Dialogue encourages readers to engage in discussion from different perspectives through various methodological and theoretical approaches to problems, opportunities, and ethical issues of intercultural communication.

This research is now embedded in the larger AHRC-funded project “Researching Multilingually at the Borders of Language, the Body, Law and the State” led by Professor Alison Phipps http://gramnet.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/research ing-multilingually-at-the-borders-of-language-the-body-law-and-the-state/.

Too often, the scholars have left intercultural dialogue to the practitioners, as if it were none of their concern. Case Studies in Intercultural Dialogue makes a substantial contribution to the scholarly conversation. Much more remains to be done, of course, as might be expected with such a potentially large and significant topic, but this book provides a strong starting point."
