Summary:

In the contemporary era, the subject of interculturalism is common in academic discussion however these questions of diversity and integration remain vague and in many cases the terminology is unconsolidated as its linguistic root – culture – remains equally ambiguous.As part of the Diversity and Recognition hub, the Inter-Disiplinary.Net project leading to this volume, brought together researchers from different disciplines to explore how these issues affect meaning and identity. Researchers from Australia, Turkey, Canada, Finland, Russia, United States of America, Belgium, South-Africa, China, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Romania, Scotland, Barbados, Ireland, Germany, Slovenia, Poland, and Spain presented arguments and maintained discourse on a wide array of topics emerging from interculturalism and the development of new meanings and identities.-- Provided by publisher.
