In 2025, the Center for Intercultural Dialogue’s Associate Director, Casey Man Kong Lum, began a series of conversations with colleagues in various disciplines for their insights and perspectives on matters and practices in intercultural dialogue and, more generally, intercultural communication and education. The first two of these conversations were posted under Associate Director’s Activities. But after further reflection and deliberation on how we can best share these dialogues with interested colleagues, we have decided to introduce a new series entitled Voices from the Field. Similar to the entries in our Guest Posts, you will find a URL to a PDF of each of the dialogue essays in this series.
The following is a list of all interviews published to date, shown in the order in which they were published. Click on the title of the one that interests you to see and download that PDF.
