Voices from the Field #6: Reflections on Feminist-Alternative Media, Peace Communication, and Intercultural Dialogue

Voices from the Field

Reflections on Feminist-Alternative Media, Peace Communication, and Intercultural Dialogue: A conversation with Nazan Haydari.

In the following conversation, Dr. Nazan Haydari, a founding member of the Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Professor of Media at Istanbul Bilgi University, Türkiye, reflects upon the nature and dynamics among feminist-alternative media, peace communication, and intercultural dialogue.

I would encourage colleagues to think beyond just creating individual moments of intercultural dialogue. A successful workshop, exhibition, or meeting may open a conversation, but the more difficult question is what remains when it ends. We need to build structures through which relationships, knowledge, and collaboration can continue. Dialogue should have an afterlife.

Voices from the Field #5: No regrets: From Being a Fulbright Scholar in Taiwan to Having Taught for Decades in Macau

Voices from the Field

No regrets: From being a Fulbright scholar in Taiwan to having taught for decades in Macau: A conversation with Todd Sandel.

I recently had an inspiring conversation with Todd Sandel, a veteran Advisory Board member at the Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Professor at the University of Macau, about his decades of research and teaching experience in Asia. The following provides reflections on some of his experiences as an intercultural scholar and educator.

My most gratifying experiences come from advising and learning from my graduate students. At Macau I have supervised to completion 6 doctoral dissertations and 46 masters theses. While I cannot vividly recall all, some do come to mind as particularly meaningful, especially those that I supervised early on.
