This insightful book examines critical intercultural communication pedagogy through various theoretical lenses and practical applications, enriching the educational landscape for both teachers and students.
The book Critical Intercultural Communication Pedagogy delves into various methodologies and frameworks that shape the field of intercultural communication education. Contributors from diverse backgrounds present their insights, exploring theoretical constructs that enhance understanding and application in real-world scenarios. Through a mix of case studies and practical applications, the book illuminates the complexities and nuances of teaching and learning in intercultural contexts.
In Critical Intercultural Communication Pedagogy, readers will find a robust examination of the interplay between intercultural communication and critical theories, such as critical race theory and queer theory. The chapters address essential questions regarding pedagogy's role in fostering inclusivity and understanding among different cultural groups. By integrating narrative methodologies and critical ethnography, the contributors provide a rich tapestry of perspectives that challenge traditional approaches to intercultural communication education.
This collection not only engages with theoretical frameworks but also encourages pedagogical innovation and creativity. By emphasizing the importance of praxis, Critical Intercultural Communication Pedagogy serves as a vital resource for educators and researchers aiming to enhance their understanding and practice of intercultural communication. The book ultimately advocates for a more inclusive and reflective approach to teaching that recognizes the diverse experiences and identities of learners.
This is a rich and essential collection of essays by leading scholar-educators of critical intercultural communication. Rooted in lived experiences across identities and standpoints, it incorporates powerful narrative autoethnography, performance, embodied practice, critical love, and other approaches within a variety of contexts. It addresses practical, ethical, and emotional elements of teaching, and offers deep and valuable insights for seasoned and novice critical educators who strive to decolonize our teaching through dialogue and self-reflexivity. Merging insights of intercultural communication scholarship with those of critical pedagogy, the book constitutes an important contribution to the turn toward social justice within communication studies. -- Sara DeTurk, University of Texas at San Antonio
Critical Intercultural Communication Pedagogy is a powerful and resonant collection of insights into the nuances of culture, power, and pedagogy. Because the authors open dialogic explorations into teaching, learning, and embodying feminist, mediated, postcolonial, queer, and other critical theories, these writings will be of great interest and value to communication scholars in/of/beyond the classroom. Atay and Toyosaki have assembled established scholars who are committed to modeling reflexivity in illuminating and interrogating structures of power and privilege that affect us all. These readings command us to compassionately and critically investigate our own roles in naming, perpetuating, and challenging these structures in our classrooms and in our scholarship; its value to the discipline is considerable. -- Deanna L. Fassett, San José State University
