CFP: Intercultural Competence in a Rapidly Changing World (USA & Online)

ConferencesCall for proposals: Supporting Sustainable Futures for All: Intercultural Competence in a Rapidly Changing World, 10th International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ and Online hybrid, 27 February-1 March 2026. Deadline: 21 July 2025.

Intercultural Competence in a Rapidly Changing World

What role might intercultural communicative language education play in promoting a more sustainable world for all? What might an intercultural communicative language education for a more sustainable world look like? What might be the implications for teachers and learners of moving towards intercultural communicative language education for sustainability? With these issues and questions in mind, CERCLL invites language educators to reflect on how they could re-envision what they teach and how they teach it to meaningfully address these crises with the goal of building a sustainable world for all. The organizers of ICC 2026 seek presentation proposals that focus upon these questions.

As the opportunity and need to move between physical and virtual spaces has increased, more people experience the world as mobile and interconnected (see e.g. Douglas Fir Group, 2016; Kramsch & Whiteside, 2008). On the one hand, this has enabled participation in dispersed communities and markets; on the other hand, as communication, meaning making, and culture have become deterritorialized, interculturality has revealed itself as more complex than the ability to mediate across cultural differences. At the same time, patterns of mass migration and economic globalization have meant local contexts are also shaped by transnational flows of capital, knowledge, practices, and modes of communication. As a result people in today’s world must develop the capacity to negotiate and navigate dynamic demands.

In 2018, CERCLL (Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy, based at the University of Arizona) will host the Sixth International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence which will focus on Intercultural Competence and Mobility: Virtual and Physical. The conference will feature presentations and workshops that consider intercultural competence in connection with global trends of migration, travel, and digitally-enabled mobility. Of particular interest are contributions that address the changing state of intercultural competence in a mobile world.

CERCLL invites proposals for individual papers, symposia, roundtables, posters, and workshops (half-day/full-day) with preference given to topics related to the conference theme of Intercultural Competence and Mobility: Virtual and Physical.

Proposal deadline: 11:59 pm (Pacific Standard Time) on May 22nd, 2017
