Stepping into the vibrant and uncharted margins of Intercultural Communication, Education and Research (ICER), this edited volume challenges the field’s established narratives by actively listening to the thinkers, educators, and practitioners whose transformative work has previously been overlooked.
Moving beyond clichés, this volume introduces the ‘unsung maverick’ not as a heroic figure but as a precarious rope-dancer performing vital and innovative work without a safety net. Through powerful, first-hand accounts, ranging from autoethnographies to poetic experiments, the contributors pull apart dominant paradigms and reveal how systemic biases and linguistic hierarchies have silenced crucial perspectives. Representing a platform for methodological rebellion and epistemic justice, this book showcases how interculturality is lived and reimagined from the ground up.
For anyone ready to move past the usual references and discover the fertile and creative potential at the edges of ICER, this edited volume urges us to listen, learn, and help shape the conversation about interculturality today.
For over 25 years, Fred Dervin has contributed to redefining intercultural communication, education, and research. The University of Helsinki scholar challenges conventional paradigms with interdisciplinary insight, inspiring scholars, practitioners, and students to critically rethink and creatively reshape interculturality for our complex worlds. A defining characteristic of his 300+ publications is his commitment to the continuous re-examination of his own work.
