Meeting Description:

Throughout history the Mediterranean Sea has been a vessel for both conflict and exchange. The island of Sardinia, site of the 2015 Intercultural Horizons conference, has historically been a strategic point in trade and exchange of the Mediterranean peoples. In this crucible of cultural and commercial encounters, the Intercultural Horizons conference committee is seeking session presenters for the 5th annual conference “Identities, Relationships and Languages in Migration.” 

The conference committee is looking for thought-provoking and engaging sessions that will benefit and stimulate academics, practitioners and professionals alike in the social sciences, humanities, international and intercultural studies, language education and other fields in which migration topics are of interest. We also welcome sessions that focus on intercultural education, communication and competence, as well as university/community engagement, particularly how these issues intersect with identities, relationships and languages in migration. An opportunity for exchange of best-practices, creative ideas and original research, this conference provides direct networking with influential individuals in the intercultural studies and related fields. 

Additionally, there will be a pre-conference workshop entitled “Visual Metaphors, Intercultural Communication and Migration.”
