Migrant Health and Resilience
In an era of escalating conflict-induced and climate-induced migration and cross-border interaction, transnational-competence (TC) preparation for displaced persons, members of their host communities, humanitarian responders, and health-care professionals is increasingly critical. Building on insights from those engaged with a range of humanitarian crises and global-justice contexts, along with multidisciplinary research findings, this cutting-edge volume provides practical guidelines for preparing stakeholders for effective short-term and long-term responses to challenges arising in the wake of population dislocation generated by armed conflict, persecution, and climate change.

The Riches of Intercultural Communication
This book exemplifies that research into linguistic and cultural diversity not only contributes to the reduction of unjust human relations, but also has its own added value in creating and exposing new connections, relationships, identities, and communities through intercultural communication. It is not a handbook but offers nine studies that illustrate the reflection process from different scholarly perspectives. The approaches in this volume are interaction approach, contrastive approach, cultural representation approach, multilingualism approach and transfer approach including research into intercultural competences. Together, the chapters illustrate the essence of the essentialism and non-essentialism debate regarding diversity and inclusion.
Communication means failing
In this digital age, successful communication has become more important than ever. But why do we fail so often in our conversations? Why do so many misunderstandings arise? Our experience shows: The focus in conversations is too often solely on the content. The exchange can only be successful if we and our counterparts are also emotionally receptive and we give each other the authorization to communicate. Learn how to lay the foundation for successful communication in order to better understand other people, convince them effectively, inspire them to act and lead them. After having read this book, its contents will accompany you constantly whether in private or in business discussions, listening to or giving presentations or while writing emails independent of the context and across generations.

"Diese Mutter ist voll Vater"
Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Job folgt Doro kurzerhand einem Stellenangebot in San Luis Potosí, Mexiko. Vom Leben in einem improvisierten Hippiehaus über die Fortbewegung mittels "Ei" bis hin zum Einkaufen in fremden Schlafzimmern konfrontiert sie der mexikanische Alltag mit vielen verrückten Herausforderungen. Sie erzählt von "großen Geschäften" und leeren Spülkästen; von Bier mit Tomatensaft und von der wahren Bedeutung von Schokolade. Davon, dass man sich das Recht auf eine Erkältung hart erkämpfen muss und warum man Kondome nur ungern am Kiosk kauft. Ein kompakter Abriss einer Alltagskultur, die mehr zu bieten hat als Drogen, Korruption und Tequila.
Stereotype im interkulturellen Training
Die Arbeit interkultureller Trainerinnen und Trainer steht dem scheinbar unüberbrückbaren Dilemma zwischen dem Bedürfnis der Teilnehmenden nach Orientierung einerseits und dem eigenen Anspruch an angemessene Komplexität andererseits gegenüber. Stereotype helfen dabei, die Welt zu ordnen und zu verstehen, gleichzeitig führen sie jedoch zu Ausgrenzung und engen unsere Wahrnehmungsmöglichkeiten ein. In der theoretisch fundierten Analyse der aktuellen Praxis interkultureller Trainings in Deutschland sucht Jessica Haß zu ergründen, wie interkulturelles Training vor dem Hintergrund eines offenen und dynamischen Kulturverständnisses gelingen kann.
English for Diplomatic Purposes
English is used in diplomatic contexts worldwide, including in situations where none of the interlocutors are native-speakers. This ground-breaking volume brings together the perspectives of researchers and practitioners to discuss the needs of those using and learning English for Diplomatic Purposes. Chapter authors use concepts from sociolinguistics, World Englishes, Peace Linguistics and English as a Lingua Franca. Combined with this theoretical background is a pragmatic understanding of the work of diplomacy and the realities of communication, as well as exercises designed to help students, teachers and practicing diplomats reflect on, and develop, their language use. This book represents an important first step in the opening-up of English for Diplomatic Purposes as a distinct field of study and learning, and as such will be required reading for those working and studying in this area.
