The Editorial Board is please to share the second edition of Case Studies in Intercultural Communication, a collection of 10 cases written by students and faculty. We are honored to share the voices and stories of the authors. We look forward to developing our collection of cases to expand and share the lived experiences that frame our intercultural dialogues and inform our development of realistic cultural empathy.
We invite you to submit a case study for inclusion in a future edition. Authors do not need to be affiliated with American University, as we hope to capture the widest range of experiences possible.
