<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Fellow Ethnocommers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am delighted to announce that my new textbook, <b><i>Intercultural Communication: Pathways to Better Interactions</i></b>, will be published on
<b>November 1, 2020</b>! I am indebted to many of you who had graciously agreed to review the manuscript and send valuable suggestions for revision.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How to best describe the book? One way would be to say, if you like to combine the ethnography of communication with discourse analysis in your teaching and/or research, this is a textbook for you. Another way would be: if Agar’s
<i>Language Shock</i>, Carbaugh’s <i>Cultures in Conversation</i>, Morgan’s <i>Speech Communities</i>, Tracy & Robles’s
<i>Everyday Talk</i>, and Philipsen’s <i>Speaking Culturally</i> had a baby, this book would be it. One more: this textbook has an interpretivist body and a critical heart. One last one: if you are looking for an intercultural communication textbook that’s
written for the intercultural practitioner in an engaging, personal style, and is chock-full of actual intercultural interactions and my students’ and my own personal anecdotes, look no further. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please scroll down to preview the textbook’s table of contents!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To learn more about the book and its uses in the undergraduate intercultural communication course, please consider joining me for
<b>a virtual, synchronous short course</b> at this year’s NCA convention. The short course I will host is titled “<a href="https://ww4.aievolution.com/nca2001/index.cfm?do=ev.viewEv&ev=10686">SC02: Teaching the Basic Intercultural Communication Course from
a Language and Social Interaction Perspective: A Cultural Pragmatics Approach to Pedagogy</a>” and is scheduled for
<b>Thursday, November 19, 9.30-12.15 am US Eastern Time</b>. The fee to register for a short course for Regular members and Non-members is $20 per course; $10 per course for student NCA members.
<b>All participants will receive a free digital copy of the book from the publisher, Cognella!</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you decide to register for the course, let me ask you to
<b>send me an email</b> (<a href="mailto:dbh@colorado.edu">dbh@colorado.edu</a>) to let me know (1) that you are planning to join the short course, and (2) if you are able to join the live Zoom session at the scheduled time. If I hear from many of you that
you can’t make it to a live (synchronous) session during the scheduled time I will pre-record the session and upload it to the convention site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for considering attending this short course! I would love to tell you all about the book, its history, its many uses in the classroom, and related supplementary materials.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers, David<o:p></o:p></p>
