Abstract:

This book maps the discursive terrain and potential of person to person
peacebuilding as it intersects with, and is embedded in, intercultural
communication. It foregrounds the voices and discourses of participants who
came together in the virtual intercultural borderlands of online exchange
through a service-learning project with a non-profit organization which
focused on peace through education in Afghanistan, primarily through English
language tutoring. By analyzing the voices and perspectives of US-based tutors
who are pre-service teachers of English as an Additional Language, in equal
measure with the voices and perspectives of adult English learners in
Afghanistan, the authors examine how intercultural interactants begin to work
as peacebuilders. The participants describe the profound transformations they
undergo throughout their intercultural tutoring journeys, transformations
which evidence three dimensions of person to person peacebuilding: the
personal, relational and structural. Inspired by these voices, the book
further explores ways teachers and teacher educators of language and
intercultural communication can more deliberately leverage the affordance of
peacebuilding, whether face to face or in the virtual intercultural
borderlands of online exchange.
