Looking Back, Moving Forward: Intercultural Communication Must Be Part of All Learning
Anderson, Kyle David; Jackson, Moryah; Trogden, Bridget
Liberal Education, v107 n1 Win 2021
Intercultural communication is both a skill and an issue of global importance. It is not just needed "here" in the United States or "over there" beyond national borders but, rather, within all local, state, regional, national, international, and virtual spaces. Wherever effective intercultural communication occurs, the experience becomes a shared lesson for all, helping to promote prosocial values and behaviors in both domestic and international contexts. This article discusses how Clemson University is focusing on developing the intercultural communication skills of its campus community, including all students, faculty, and staff through a strategic diversity initiative. Conflict across cultures, both local and international, is grounded in the various worldviews and approaches to difference that people all take. The ability to recognize and to respond effectively and respectfully to difference is central to achieving Clemson's goal to become a stronger, more inclusive academic institution.
