Marieke de Mooij Profile

Marieke de Mooij, Ph.D. (Netherlands), Doctor in Communications, is a retired profesora asociada at the University of Navarre (Spain), worked as a consultant in cross cultural communications, and has been visiting professor at various universities around the world.

Her research has been focused on the influence of culture on communication, media, advertising and consumer behavior in a broadest sense. Since the 1990s she has analyzed an enormous amount of data on communication and media behavior, including the new media. One of her main conclusions is that globalization does not lead to converging communication behavior. Instead, communication behavior across cultures is diverging instead of converging.

She is the author of several publications on the influence of culture on marketing and advertising and communications. Her books Global Marketing and Advertising, Understanding Cultural Paradoxes (fourth edition, 2014), Consumer Behavior and Culture. Consequences for Global Marketing and Advertising (second edition, 2011), both by Sage Publications (USA and UK) are used at universities worldwide.

A new book on communication theory around the world is published by Springer International (2014): Human and Mediated Communication around the World: A Comprehensive Review and Analysis. This book offers a comprehensive review and analysis of human communication and mediated communication around the world. It challenges the assumption that Western theories of human communication and mass communication have universal applicability. The book covers the influence of culture on interpersonal communication, all sorts of mediated communication and mass communication. It presents communication theories from around the world, incorporating a vast body of literature from north America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. It also offers an integrated approach to understanding the working of electronic means of communication that are hybrid media combining human and mediated communication.

Alex Frame Profile

Alex Frame is currently Associate Professor in Communication at the University of Burgundy (Dijon, France).

After a degree in Modern Languages from St Catherine’s College, Oxford, he permanently moved to France at postgraduate level and has been lecturing at university (in Business English, Intercultural Communication, New Media and Political Communication, among others) since the year 2000. He is a member of the “Text – Image – Language” Research Group (EA 4182). In his PhD (2008), he developed a symbolic interactionist approach to intercultural dialogue, taking into account the possible mobilisation of various cultures and identities in face-to-face interactions. He insists on the importance of the situation, the immediate context, existing relationships and underlying tensions in understanding the way people negotiate meanings and go about seeking to make sense of and for one another, despite cultural differences.

Alex’s current research interests stem from critical approaches to interculturality, factoring in questions of identities, othering and power relations to look at the ways in which cultural dynamics underpin and are referred to by individuals in their interactions. His main focus is on the cultural dynamics of communication processes both locally and globally, as they manifest themselves in intercultural dialogue, in mediated/mediatized communication and as part of the globalization process. In 2015, he set up an English-taught MA course in (critical approaches to) Intercultural Management at the University of Burgundy.

Susana Martínez Guillem Profile

Susana Martínez Guillem (Ph.D., University of Colorado-Boulder) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at the University of New Mexico, USA. She is also affiliate faculty at the Latin American and Iberian Institute, and the European Studies Program at UNM.

She is originally from Spain, and came to the United States to start her graduate studies in 2000. Before moving to New Mexico, she spent her time between Europe and the U.S., living in Iowa, Italy, Spain and Colorado.

Dr. Martínez Guillem is convinced that the best scholarship comes out of grappling with productive tensions among different methods, theories and disciplines. In her research, she draw from the Discourse Studies as well as the Cultural Studies traditions, together with scholarship on race, ethnicity and whiteness across the humanities and the social sciences. She finds these theoretical and practical intersections necessary as she tries to develop a research agenda that aims at approaching complex phenomena in a holistic way.

Her current projects include examining the ideological dimensions of institutional, mediated, and everyday practices in relation to immigration, place, space, social movements (anti)racism, bilingualism, and their connection to material conditions.

Josep Soler is Docent and Associate Professor at the Department of English of Stockholm University. He graduated in English Studies (2002) and General Linguistics (2004) from the University of Barcelona, where he also obtained his Ph.D. in Linguistics and Communication (2010). His main research interests cut across the broadly-defined areas of sociolinguistics, language ideologies, language policy and language planning, and intercultural communication from a discourse approach.

His dissertation was based on language ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Tallinn and Barcelona. It investigated speakers’ language ideologies and their impact in the co-construction of the sociolinguistic environments under study. During his doctoral studies, Josep was a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Anthropology, University of California San Diego, sponsored by the ‘La Caixa’ postgraduate fellowships’ program.

In his postdoctoral project at the University of Tartu, he investigated the role of English as a global language and its influence on the language ecology of higher education. More specifically, the study examined how Academic English is constructed both at the ‘macro’ and the ‘micro’ levels, i.e. in language policy and individual interaction. This project was financially supported by the Estonian Research Council. Josep has extensive teaching experience at university level. Over the past few years, he has taught courses in language and culture and intercultural communication at Barcelona, Oxford, Tallinn and Tartu universities. He has been actively involved in several research projects and networks across Europe, including the COST-ISCH Action IS1306 “New Speakers in a Multilingual Europe: Opportunities and Challenges.”
