Meeting Description:

The International Association for Intercultural Communication Studies (IAICS)
is pleased to announce the 24th Annual International Conference of
Intercultural Communication Studies, July 5-8, 2018.  The conference will be
held on the campus of DePaul University in Chicago, IL.  

Conference Goals:

- To provide scholars, educators and practitioners from different cultural
communities with opportunities to interact, network and benefit from each
other’s research and expertise related to intercultural and international
issues
- To synthesize research perspectives and foster interdisciplinary scholarly
dialogues for developing integrated approaches to complex problems of
communication in global contexts
- To advance modes of inquiry for intercultural communication research and
disseminate practical findings to facilitate understanding among cultures
- To foster global intercultural sensitivity and integration in discussing and
addressing challenging issues facing humanity.

2018 Conference Theme:

There are two opposing perspectives that have resulted from today’s globalized
world: One that promotes diversity, interconnectedness, and interdependence
through open borders and intercultural collaboration as the antidote to the
global problems of inequality, terrorism, and climate change. But not all
subscribe to this notion, as another, more harmful view is characterized by
ethnocentrism, prejudice, xenophobia, and implicit biases, which cause fear,
exclusion, alienation, divisiveness, and violence. As intercultural
communication scholars, it is our ethical responsibility to identify, analyze,
and provide strategies and solutions to these problems and to create inclusive
and integrated global communities through engaging intercultural and
international dialogues. Integration of communities requires humanity to come
together through compassion, empathy, shared values, common interests, and
full participation of all people while acknowledging and respecting cultural
differences. By sharing research from diverse interdisciplinary perspectives
on intercultural and international issues, we can generate new ideas, new ways
of thinking, and collective wisdom toward a brighter future.


Call for Papers:

IAICS Is currently soliciting submissions that reflect diverse theoretical
perspectives and empirical research in both quantitative and qualitative
approaches. Topics are broadly defined, but not limited to the following
areas:  studies on globalization, culture and community building,
cosmopolitanism in culture, language and culture, discourse analysis and
global implications, nonverbal communication in intercultural contexts,
cultural identity, international conflict, comparative literature and poetics,
cultural hybridity, language teaching in intercultural communication, media
and film studies across cultures, journalism and globalization, global
communication and technology, public relations and advertising in global
contexts, intercultural communication competency, intercultural and public
policy, cultural studies, environmental studies, rhetorical studies,

The call for papers is currently open.  The deadline for abstracts is November
1, 2017
