The Center for Intercultural Dialogue condemns violence and aggression, whether on the part of individuals or nations. It should come as no surprise that our preference instead is to advocate for intercultural dialogue. We hope for a swift end to the current violence in Ukraine and de-escalation of hostilities.

CID Poster #12: The Elephant in the Room (reprise)
(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)
This is a bonus poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit who was the CID intern in 2017, and who has now returned as graphic design consultant. It illustrates the common expression “the elephant in the room” used to describe something which is obvious but not being discussed openly.
The image was prepared to illustrate the first of the the newest CID series: In Dialogue: CID Occasional Papers, to be published shortly, by Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. The quote integrated into the poster comes from that paper. It says:
Intercultural dialogue might be called the elephant in the room, a metaphor referring to something obvious which is nonetheless ignored. Most often, practitioners and diplomats use the term intercultural dialogue, but they rarely define it, and conduct little to no research in order to discover how it works, but only hold it up as a desired end. Academics, who certainly conduct research, rarely use this term, thus have rarely studied it, although some research by other names sheds light on how it works.
Just in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:

In research and teaching, she primarily deals with intercultural management and intercultural communication in organizations, as well as creativity and innovation in multicultural workplaces and urban ecosystems.

CFP Nordic Migration Research: RE:MIGRATION (Denmark)
Call for papers: Nordic Migration Research conference, RE:MIGRATION – New perspectives on movement, research, and society, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, 17-19 August 2022. Deadline: 4 April, 2022.
The term RE: – familiar from the subject lines of email threads – means regarding or in response to, and as such RE:MIGRATION is an invitation to reflect on key questions in migration studies in the current moment as interventions in an ongoing conversation. However, as a prefix, re- also introduces a temporality. It can speak both to a fresh start – rebuilding or reimagining – and to inevitable repetition. It therefore also invites us to consider migration not as singular or exceptional, but as part of the very rhythm of social life across the globe.
KC77 Negotiation Translated into Turkish
Continuing translations of Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, today I am posting KC77: Negotiation, which Beth Fisher-Yoshida wrote for publication in English in 2016, and which Candost Aydın has now translated into Turkish.
As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists of Key Concepts organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

If you are interested in translating one of the Key Concepts, please contact me for approval first because dozens are currently in process. As always, if there is a concept you think should be written up as one of the Key Concepts, whether in English or any other language, propose it. If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume. This opportunity is open to masters students and above, on the assumption that some familiarity with academic conventions generally, and discussion of intercultural dialogue specifically, are useful.

Call for Papers for the 8th issue of Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis. Deadline: 15 March 2022.
The Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis (JTPP) is concentrating the eighth issue on the broad theme of modelling and encouraging the values of peace and restoration in a fractured/polarised world order. A critical set of skills for those either working in the field of conflict resolution or aspiring to be peacemakers, modelling peaceful nonviolent values are in short supply in our postmodern and post-truth reality. They encourage all those working in the expansive and growing field of Peace, Conflict, and Justice Studies to submit their conference presentation papers, praxis and book review ideas, and full-length manuscripts for publication, especially those addressing:
- The interplay between restorative and peacemaking values;
- Non-traditional, or lesser known, exemplars of peacemaking and peacebuilding;

- The difficulties of justifying peacework in our capitalist and neoliberal world system.
CID Poster #11: Language and Intercultural Communication (reprise)
(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)
This is CID Poster #11, designed by Brandon Peña, illustrating a quote related to KC78: Language and Intercultural Communication by Jane Jackson. This is the first designed by someone other than Linda J. de Wit. It came about because he is a student of Anna Klyueva, at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, and she turned posters into a course project (other faculty are welcome to do so as well, of course).
Just in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:
Center for Intercultural Dialogue. (2018). Language and intercultural communication. CID Posters, 11. Available from:

As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to provide that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.
