Intercultural Communication

 

The Intercultural Communication Portfolio encompasses the wide range of communication opportunities that arise in global civil society seeking to accommodate different religious, social, ethnic, and educational differences. 

 

While sometimes referenced as cross-cultural communication, this approach to seeking to improve the effectiveness and competency of cultural interactions is sensitive to understanding the ways in which people from different countries and cultures perceive the world, encode messages, pursue communication channels transmitting them, and the way messages are interpreted.

 

Intercultural Communications Portfolio includes:

 

• Cultural Convergence and Competence 

• Networks and Outgroup Communication 

• Intracultural Versus Intercultural Networks

• Networks and Acculturation

• Intercultural Adaption

• Co-cultural Theory
