*Subject:* *[Ethnocomm] NCA Short Course on my new intercultural
communication textbook!*



Dear Fellow Ethnocommers,



I am delighted to announce that my new textbook, *Intercultural
Communication: Pathways to Better Interactions*, will be published on *November
1, 2020*! I am indebted to many of you who had graciously agreed to review
the manuscript and send valuable suggestions for revision.



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 *Language Shock*, Carbaugh’s *Cultures in Conversation*,
Morgan’s *Speech Communities*, Tracy & Robles’s *Everyday Talk*, and
Philipsen’s *Speaking Culturally* 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.



Please scroll down to preview the textbook’s table of contents!



To learn more about the book and its uses in the undergraduate
intercultural communication course, please consider joining me for *a
virtual, synchronous short course* at this year’s NCA convention. The short
course I will host is titled “SC02: Teaching the Basic Intercultural
Communication Course from a Language and Social Interaction Perspective: A
Cultural Pragmatics Approach to Pedagogy
<https://ww4.aievolution.com/nca2001/index.cfm?do=ev.viewEv&ev=10686>” and
is scheduled for *Thursday, November 19, 9.30-12.15 am US Eastern Time*.
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. *All
participants will receive a free digital copy of the book from the
publisher, Cognella!*



When you decide to register for the course, let me ask you to *send me an
email* (dbh at colorado.edu) 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.



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.



Cheers, David
