International in its focus, this book collates a number of studies that explicate and interrogate the concept of 'intercultural dialogue'. Contributors offer new critical and interpretive insights into theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical approaches to understanding and researching intercultural dialogue in the context of 21st century migration, international education, and globalisation. The book reminds us how context and power both (re)shape and contest the central tenets of intercultural dialogue-in particular, of who speaks for whom, when, how, and under what circumstances and conditions. This book was published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication.
