Intercultural Communication: Globalization and Social Justice

By Kathryn Sorrells

Book Overview

"Teaching from an intercultural textbook that utilizes a critical, social justice perspective, and one that is grounded in the reality of globalization is so refreshing. Students relate very well to the contemporary examples Sorrells utilizes... I love teaching from it because it raises the level of discussion sparked in the classroom and because the intercultural praxis model motivates students to apply what they are learning. It is a text that reframes conversations in the field in ways that just make sense "

Kathryn Sorrells takes a social justice approach, providing a framework to create a more equitable world through communication.
