Re-Thinking Interculturalism

Malta and Online

18 May 2022: Arrival day
19 - 21 May 2022: Congress days

(no pre- or post-Congress workshops are planned)

The intercultural field was born out of the 50s and 60s of the previous century. It was a different time. Large parts of the global south were still colonised or on the verge of becoming independent; working globally was the privilege of a tiny minority of multinational companies headquartered in western Europe and North America; the iron curtain between the USSR and the West was considered inevitable and forever impenetrable; the oppression of women, people of colour and the LGBTQ community was rarely questioned by the un-discriminated.

Much has changed. Lots for the better, some for the worse. The deterioration of our natural environment threatens the well-being of people and peace on earth. Deep and old racist, class- based structures cause violence that dominate the headlines almost daily. Far-right populism is on the rise globally, as fundamental freedoms are declining even in places that were thought to be resilient democracies, in Europe and beyond.

The global pandemic has amplified and clarified many of these systemic issues that were more easily ignored before; it has shown the incredible potential of what humans can achieve, when they work together across and beyond boundaries - it has also shown how we fail when we don't.

Faced with these awesome challenges, the the question arises whether interculturalism has failed? Has it fulfilled its promise? Has it even promised the right things? Or, to put it bluntly, does interculturalism need to be replaced, reformed or reshaped to match the challenges this world faces?

Her recent book Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire the World describes her work on this critical cultural difference and shows why cultures evolve to be tight or loose.

Through field work as well as experimental, neuroscience and computational studies she explored the consequences of the tight-loose-combination for nations, states, organizations, and individuals and thus explains the degree to which groups have strict or permissive norms. Since cultural conflicts related to tight-loose abound, the webinar with Michele Gelfand will also draw on her research and expert knowledge in conflict management.

We will focus on very practical questions, like how we as intercultural trainers, consultants and coaches can make use of the tight-loose-concept in cultural conflicts and in our work in general.

Dr. Michele Gelfand is a Distinguished University Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland. Trained by Harry Triandis, one of the founders of cross-cultural psychology, Gelfand is a pioneer of research on cultural tightness-looseness.

We are looking forward to welcoming Professor Michele Gelfand to the SIETAR webinar series.

Overview

After being caught in the chokehold of the Covid19-pandemic for almost two years, what have we learned from this global crisis for our future together on this planet? Has the pandemic led to more cooperation between cultural groups, or has it enlarged already existing conflicts? In addition to this health crisis we must also confront such burning issues as global warming, migration, the rise of 'Nationalists' and 'Anti-Globalists', distrust in academia, poisoning of communication by conspiracy theories, and the consequent polarization of societies, steered by tribalistic attitudes and actions-among others.

How does our intercultural research address these issues? How can we apply our intercultural expertise effectively in different professional fields to have an impact on individuals and societies? How does intercultural research help to develop an intercultural and ethical mindset in our various target groups for dealing with the challenges of the present VUCA-world (VUCA: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous)? Moreover, how can intercultural research contribute to the four pillars of sustainability (Environment, Economy, Social Equality, and Culture)?

The mission of IAIR is to encourage the highest quality empirical research and practice aimed at intercultural understanding. Each IAIR conference aims to attract research-oriented scientists and practitioners from a variety of intercultural disciplines to present their work, exchange and discuss ideas, and contribute to intercultural understanding and cooperation. We especially invite you to propose research-based remedies for dealing with the conditions and prominent challenges of these "post-globalized" times.

A key focus of this conference is applying intercultural research for a sustainable future, so we appreciate abstracts that show how your research contributes to current real-world-challenges.

We will make a determination at a later date to accommodate those who may not be able to travel dues to Covid restrictions or other reasons.

Conference Themes

Call for Submissions: We welcome original studies that address the theme: applied research that fosters intercultural hearts and minds in a 'post-globalized' age, especially related to:

1. Acculturation (theories and practices of migration, adaptation, inclusion, integration)

2. Advances in Intercultural Research Methodologies

3. Applied Intercultural Research (to business, engineering, healthcare, law enforcement, military, arts, schools, etc.)

4. Applied Policy (to social-political issues, urban planning, development, sustainability)

5. Cultural Contexts and dynamics (understanding differences/commonalities, values)

6. Cultural Identity (ethnicity, developing, bi-, multi-, and trans-cultural identities),

7. Culture Learning (intercultural learning, training, education, multiculturalism)

8. Immigration and Refugees (issues, services, resettlement, policy, inclusion)

9. Intercultural Competencies (sensitivity, domains, testing ICC in contexts)

10. Intercultural Conflict (stereotypes, anti-racism/prejudice, aggressions, social justice)

11. Intercultural Interactions (interpersonal, social acceptance and belonging, cooperation, diversity, media, mass communication)

12. Intercultural interventions (multicultural counseling, coaching, therapy, mediation/ facilitation, conflict resolution)

13. Intercultural Management (multicultural teams, organizations, leadership, work values,diversity/inclusions, negotiation)

14. Language and Cultures (language acquisition/teaching, ethnographies of speech communities, translation, IC linguistics, literature)

15. Psychology of Culture (indigenous, cross-cultural, intercultural approaches)

CFP Symposia/Panels

Symposia Submissions (including invited symposia)

We especially welcome the submission of symposia (theme panels, group paper reports) or workshop proposals that fit 90-minute time blocks, organized around a relevant theme.

A chair of a symposium making a presentation counts as an author.

Any role in the Invited Program does not count as a presenting role

Submission Instructions for Symposia (including invited symposia)

Enter a full name and affiliation for each author of your paper. Please keep in mind that:

1. Symposia must be organized and submitted as a group of presentations.

2. A chair and a discussant are required.

3. Symposia must have representation from at least two different institutions.

4. While inviting people to participate in your Symposium, please clearly communicate to them that they are not part of the official IAIR Invited Program and that IAIR will not reimburse their expenses.
