Inter- and transculturality by Dr. Nadia Baghdadi.
Nadia Baghdadi has an MA degree in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies. She carried out PhD research at the Department of Geography at the University of Bern and at the School of Health and Social Sciences at Middlesex University, London on immigrant women of middle eastern background. Currently, she is the junior coordinator of the international office at the Department of Social Work at the FHS St.Gallen, University of applied sciences. She is also involved in establishing transnational social work as a new focal point.
How ideas about culture shape our understanding of "the other". Reflecting on intercultural approaches.
Intercultural trainings are increasingly popular. They aim to help people to better understand "the other". A similar approach is 'intercultural learning' which is based on a theory and method about how to act appropriately in various cultural contexts. More recently, the transcultural approach has also become popular. It examines how we move through and across cultural systems.
In my presentation I will critically discuss different contemporary approaches in the area of culture and communication. I will argue that what is perceived as "best practice" in inter- and transcultural communication depends very much on how we think about culture/s.
