This edited volume gathers insights into the production of knowledge about interculturality in education and research in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).The MENA region is seen in this book as a space with unique circumstances, conditions and complexities that need to be thoroughly explored and further unpacked. The book defines intercultural communication education and research broadly, but focuses on how teaching and researching interculturality is understood and practiced in MENA formal education classrooms and in various training situations such as business, politics, media and communication. This edited volume aims to (a) navigate representations of intercultural communication in education and research, starting from the premise that interculturality is not only a theory of analysis but also an activism for social and epistemic justice, (b) investigate specific phenomena, challenges and issues in education and research, including concepts/notions such as acculturation and intercultural understanding/empathy, and (c) explore subfields of knowledge such as sense-making and intercultural pragmatics, and specific contexts of interculturality such as immigrants, exchange programs and student mobilities.This book will be valuable read for students, educators, scholars and policymakers interested in intercultural communication and education in the region, as well as language and sociology more broadly.

Focusing on the emerging intercultural encounters in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), this book brings together diverse perspectives from the region to explore understandings and practices of interculturality in different educational environments.Teaching and researching interculturality has received increasing attention from scholars and educators alike in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region due to intensified cross-cultural interactions resulting from recent economic and political changes. In the face of these challenges and complexities, this edited volume aims to (a) develop an in-depth understanding of how interculturality is processed and taught in different educational settings (middle school, high school, and university) by different actors (students, teachers and curriculum designers, policy makers, etc.) and (b) construct context-sensitive, critical, and nuanced perspectives, theories, and practices for teaching and researching interculturality. While 'interculturality' is an overarching notion in this book, the chapters use different 'labels' to refer to interculturality in education, communication, and research, with a particular focus on sociologies of knowledge in seven countries.This title is essential read for educators, researchers, and policy makers interested in the intersection of language and sociology, as well as intercultural education and communication in the region.
