Welcome to the Intercultural U Community Center!

The Community Center is designed to give IU members ways of interacting and sharing their thoughts on intercultural topics and issues.  The Community Center provides a way for people who share a passion for intercultural relations to get to know each other -- students getting to know other students, students getting to know researchers/professors, researchers getting to know other researchers, researchers getting to know community workers,  researchers getting to know trainers/consultants, etc.

Cultus: the Journal of intercultural mediation and communication is an international refereed journal focussing on the role of culture in constructing, perceiving and translating reality. The Journal aims to develop an awareness of the interplay between language and culture in communication.
Managing diversity is now an issue, as an ever growing number of people are becoming increasingly involved in communicative interactions with others from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds: in business, education, media, tourism and also through immigration and political conflict. This Journal provides a stimulating forum, focussing on the experience of both practitioners and academics; their analysis of languages and cultures, and how the differences have been, or might be, managed.
The goal of this Journal is to promote research, education and training in communication by investigating language, languages, cultural models, conflict, mediation and interculturality. Furthermore, since translation is considered as mediation between cultures it will be included as a way of seeing cultural linguistics at work.
A fascinating feature of this Journal is constituted by a debate discussing a topic of relevant interest to those working in the field.
The first issue will include an interview between Andrew Chesterman and Mona Baker,  where she will discuss her views on conflict and mediation.
