Indigenizing Harm Reduction
First Nations Peoples are disproportionately represented among toxic drug poisoning deaths in British Columbia (BC) and experience systemic barriers to accessing harm reduction and substance use care due to the ongoing impacts of colonization. Grounded in First Nations community voices, the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) initiated the Indigenizing Harm Reduction Study to better understand community needs, priorities, and wise practices for…
AI and the (im)possibility of intercultural dialogue
In this paper we conceptualise AI as belonging to a continuum of technological progress that we trace from the mechanical reproduction of the work of art progressing to the pervasiveness of media in mediating and alienating our relationship with the world within a capitalist world system. In doing so, we situate the development of AI within broader social and historical processes which recognise the ways AI has developed as a product of capitalis…
Epistemologically breaking intercultural communication or an epistemological break from intercultural communication? Rethinking praxis as knowledge
Inspired by the French Marxist Philosopher Henri Lefebvre, this paper problematises a dialectical approach for intercultural communication in situating both language and culture within the broader dynamics of political economy. Amidst calls for epistemological plurality within the field of intercultural communication this conceptual paper offers a multidimensional and interdisciplinary perspective in bringing together scholarship from sociology, …
Life capital within everyday life
Located within the sociolinguistics of capitalism, this paper brings together an adaptation and extension of Pierre Bourdieu's notion of capital and how this has been integrated within ecological approaches to language education research with Henri Lefebvre's notion of everyday life. Specifically, we problematise the ways in which forces of political economy mediate social relations regarding Intercultural Communication phenomena. We argue for an…
Two-Eyed Seeing in Knowledge Synthesis
Using methodological approaches rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and being can help to ensure that research findings are relevant and useful to Indigenous communities, while providing evidence for more responsive public health policy and practice. This article explores a practical application of a Two-Eyed Seeing approach in knowledge synthesis as part of Phase I of the First Nation Health Authority’s Indigenizing Harm Reduction Study. The St…
Nuts'a'maat shqwaluwun — Knitting ways of life with Indigenous research principles to examine preterm birth in Quw'utsun
Indigenous Peoples have an inherent and legislated right to self-determination, including the right to lead research involving them. Several principles within Nuts'a'maat shqwaluwun enabled Quw'utsun people to lead this research: (1) trusting relationships; (2) respecting community-specific ways of life; (3) community ownership and access to data; and (4) training opportunities to lead research
Reconfiguring Intercultural Communication Education through the dialogical relationship of Istina (Truth) and Pravda (Truth in Justice)
This conceptual paper argues for the reconfiguring of Intercultural Communication Education (ICE) through a dialogical engagement with Istina (Truth) and Pravda (Truth in Justice). The paper argues that the field of ICE is predominantly characterised by normative conceptualisations of truth (e.g., characterised by fixed or ‘objective’ interpretations of language and culture) or hyper-relativist post-truth conceptualisations (e.g., non-essentialis…
Business English students’ multifaceted and contradictory perceptions of intercultural communication education (ICE) at a Chinese University
Intercultural Communication Education (ICE) is occurring in different departments and faculties of higher education around the world. Yet, there is a lack of research on how this complex field is perceived by both teachers and students. The same goes for the perceptions of the ideal teacher of the subject. This article proposes to fill these gaps by problematizing current discussions about ICE. First the article presents an overview of the field …
Intercultural Competence in the Work of Teachers
To successfully do their work, teacher educators need to put critical and ethical questions at the centre of their work. They need to challenge pre-service teachers to take a reflective and critical perspective on local curriculum, on school practice and policy, and on social justice issues in schools of increasing diversity. This requires a teacher educator to detach from their roles and become reflective researchers of their own practice. The c…
Forms of dialogism in the Council of Europe Reference Framework on Competences for Democratic Culture
Situated within research and practice on intercultural communication education, this paper suggests an urgent inclusion of dialogism and ethics in the ways it is dealt with around the world. Supranational institutions such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Council of Europe, treat intercultural communication as a monological phenomenon with an emphasis on Self rather than on the hyphen between Self-Othe…
Chinese Minzu Education in Higher Education
Calls for complementing, modifying and ‘decolonising’ the conceptualisation and implementation of Diversity Education (e.g. multicultural, intercultural, and/or social justice education) are currently being heard in the ‘West’. This paper explores some of the characteristics and benefits of Chinese Minzu Education as a potential addition to the field. Our starting point is that Chinese education is often misrepresented and that knowledge about di…
