Rethinking intercultural communication through its ethical and ecological dimensions

Event to be rescheduled.

In this conference, we explore a theoretical framework for intercultural communication that emphasizes a critical approach.

This critical perspective considers interculturality through social relations like race, class, and gender, highlighting the role of power in interactions.

Our study in professional engineering contexts illustrates how intercultural communication can occur among people with different professional expertise, not just different nationalities. We argue for understanding intercultural communication through the perception and social representations of the actors involved, making it context-dependent and ethically significant.

Lastly, we connect intercultural communication to broader societal, technological, and environmental challenges, advocating for an ethical and ecological approach in engineering practices.
