Event

The Multicultural Self in the Intercultural World

Saturday, March 1st, 2008, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Dr. Janet Bennett, Executive Director of Intercultural Communication Institute, Portland, USA

As international boundaries are rapidly changing, intercultural identity becomes ever more powerful to each of us. For those who have experienced more than one culture deeply or who are biracial, bicultural, or bilingual, the modern question of cultural identity is exceedingly complex. Equally complex is the difference between western and Asian perspectives on this issue, which provides a lively topic for our discussion. We will then examine the following questions: How does being different affect our work? Our relationships? Our experience of prejudice?
