Meeting Description:

Dialogue as Global Action: Interacting Voices and Visions across Cultures

As social human beings, we participate in a wide range of multi-layered dialogues in various contexts, in a shared search for increased understanding of issues and phenomena, for questioning ideas and actions, for joint problem-solving. These dialogues have dramatically increased with the widespread use of social media, which now enable members of any social, gender, ethnic, racial or cultural group to raise and make their voices heard while articulating current concerns and addressing critical issues of inequality, discrimination, socio-political underrepresentation and misrepresentation. At the same time, having a voice is not enough Couldry 2010):  we need to make sure that our voice matters. While joining in a dialogic polyphony of voices, each voice shares a particular experience, viewpoint, or sets of attitudes to reality, all of which are instrumental in shaping actions, interactions and relationships. 
The aim of this conference is to take the local and global dialogue to a higher level by extending its scope and empowering role as a springboard for critical reflection and self-reflection, for in-depth issue problematisation, for multi-voiced interpersonal resonance, for constructive polyphony of complementary voices.

Authors are invited to present papers on a broad spectrum of research topics (both discipline-specific and multi-disciplinary) that include, but are not restricted to the following:

- Multiple voices in online dialogue
- Voicing standpoints in multimodal communication
- Voices in dialogue across time and space
- Gendering voices in public and/or private dialogue
- Voices interacting in cross-cultural dialogue
- Public and private voices in sustained dialogue
- Trust-building in face-to-face and/or virtual dialogues
- Competing and collaborative voices in dialogue
- Polyphony of voices in harmonious or disharmonious dialogue
- Intertextuality in multi-voiced dialogue
