Intercultural Communication
Lecture series at the Institute of Translation and Multilingual Communication
Since the summer semester of 2008, the Institute of Translation and Multilingual Communication has been running a lecture series on the subject of "Intercultural Communication", which is an integral part of our Bachelor's and Master's degree courses. Accompanying and supplementing these courses, the lecture series is intended to give students and all interested parties an impression of the diversity of intercultural action.
The interdisciplinary research field of intercultural communication will be examined from various perspectives, with a particular focus on professional and practice-oriented fields of application: Where does intercultural action exist in our social reality?
We are interested in contributions which reflect the field of intercultural communication in all its diversity and which look at intercultural action from different perspectives.
Lectures in past semesters have focused on the following topics, among others:
- Intercultural perspectives on communication
- Intercultural communication in business and management
- Intercultural learning and competence
- Intercultural training, coaching and consulting
- Intercultural communication in the context of social work, tourism and mass media
- Interculturality in autobiographical and fictional literature.
