Synopsis

This book takes an original and impactful approach to intercultural communication by examining lived experiences across diverse global workplaces. It offers an engaging, personal approach that moves beyond traditional academic abstractions toward dynamic relational understanding.

Through 30 compelling interviews with individuals from Asia, Europe, Australia and Papua New Guinea, including First Nations participants, readers encounter intercultural communication across varied professional contexts: business management, law, architecture, mining, education, healthcare, journalism, community work and creative arts. This diversity makes the book applicable across multiple academic disciplines without requiring context adaptation. Using reflexive ethnography, the work analyses key concepts while examining assumptions, beliefs, power structures, and language and social inequities that shape intercultural communication. Each chapter features creative exercises and 'Thinkboxes' where readers can critically reflect on content and construct personal narratives of their own intercultural experiences.

Written in accessible, jargon-free language, this book engages with contemporary scholarship while empowering educators, students and all those interested in intercultural communication across workplace and community contexts. It is suitable for use as a textbook in intercultural communication education courses.
