In today's episode, we're diving into the topic of “culture”–what it is, where it came from, and how recent thinking challenges our assumptions. One key idea we'll be looking at is that culture isn't a rigid, unchanging force pushing people apart but rather a dynamic interplay of multiple influences that can unite us if we learn how to forge a shared sense of belonging. By exploring this idea, we'll see how moving beyond the notion of “clashing cultures” can open up more productive and inclusive ways of working together.Reference:Rathje, S. (2011).

Welcome to Ep 139 of the think UDL podcast: Emotional Capacity and Intercultural Competence with Tara Harvey. Dr. Tara Harvey is the Founder and Chief Intercultural Educator of True North Intercultural. She assists educational institutions in reaching their internationalization goals through consulting, training, and coaching and helps educators develop their capabilities to incorporate intercultural learning into their work with students. I took a course from Tara several years ago and have found so many connections between intercultural learning and UDL over the years. In today's conversation we discuss the recently updated UDL 3.0 guidelines released in the summer of 2024 and pay particular attention to the section on emotional capacity. Quite a few changes took place in that section of the guidelines and I thought that a discussion about them through the lens of intercultural competence may help listeners to understand what those changes really mean. Even if you are not familiar with the old or new guidelines, this conversation is helpful for anyone –and not just in higher ed. It is helpful in teaching and learning, but it is also very helpful in life in general to think about how we act in the world and how different we may be from each other.

In this insightful episode, we sit down with Joshua Cabral, expert in intercultural communication, to explore the essential role of intercultural competence and cultural intelligence in today's classrooms. Together, we dive into what it means to develop a culturally intelligent mindset, ways to understand cultural value dimensions, and practical strategies for educators. Joshua shares his thoughts on how to move beyond viewing one's own culture as the “norm” and to cultivate a more inclusive, culturally responsive approach. Listen in as we discuss how to help students and educators shift their thinking to see cultural perspectives on a spectrum, encouraging curiosity, respect, and adaptability. REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR TEACHERS- How do I currently teach or model openness and curiosity about other cultures? In what ways could I better facilitate these values? What strategies can I implement to encourage students to think in terms of cultural spectrums rather than fixed norms? How do I encourage students to express their cultural identities openly? Are there ways I could create more space for diverse voices and perspectives? How do I address my own biases and ensure they do not affect my teaching practice or relationships with students?

FreshEd has over 300 episodes in its archive. For the next few weeks, we'll air some of our favourites. -- Today we talk about intercultural competencies. These are the attitudes, skills, and knowledge that enable people to see from different perspectives, helping us get along together as humans. These competencies seem particularly relevant in our current political climate. My guest is Darla Deardorff. She has spent the past decade thinking about intercultural competencies. What are? Can scholars agree on a common framework? And is it possible to measure them? For Darla, intercultural competencies are as vital as math and science for education. Darla Deardorff is the Executive Director of the Association of International Education Administrators at Duke University. Her latest co-edited book, Intercultural Competence in Higher Education: International Approaches, assessment, application, was published by Routledge.

Tara Harvey, Founder of True North Intercultural, defines Intercultural Competence as “the capacity to communicate and act appropriately, effectively, and authentically across cultural differences, both locally and globally.” In this episode, Dr. Harvey discusses how the research behind intercultural learning is unknown by many. She explains why intercultural development is so important in higher education, especially nowadays, for both faculty and students, and how it can be taught. ResourcesTrue North Intercultural ResourcesThe Intercultural Development ContinuumEducation in a VUCA-driven World: Salient Features of an Entrepreneurial Pedagogy (2022) by Varghese Panthalookaran

Dr. Santos Ramos, an assistant Professor of Integrative Studies at Grand Valley State University is a mixed Mexican-Irish-American. His research and teaching centers on the Intersections of Latin American Studies, Intercultural Competence, and Digital Technology.He introduced the concept of Sovereignty in his work on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, while emphasizing the research necessary for historical context of policy brutality, prison industrial complex, and current protests."I'm definitely light-skinned, but I've never felt white in my whole life... a lot of it is how people treat you, especially with my name.." - Dr. Santos Ramos

Intercultural competence of managers and employees represents a necessary "key qualification" in all industries. Also, social work professionals increasingly deal with members of different cultures, groups, and minorities. In this way, intercultural competence has become a requirement for anyone who wants to work in the social work profession. In this episode of Managing Around, I will give you a glimpse of how intercultural competences are relevant to social work management. I start with a brief description of what the term 'intercultural competence" can mean and will discuss later its impact on the field of social work management. Reference:Arnold, M. (2022).

Many of us play hide and seek when it comes to owning our truth. We hide from ourselves and put on a mask at work, at church and with family and friends.

Dick Feldman explores the concept of intercultural competence. What is it, and what does it have to do with language learning? Why is it important to require students to study a language?

In this episode, I have talked about my aha moment while I was visiting Japan and how I have changed. I have been interviewing over 40 Japanese career/business women who are living outside of Japan and I have been asking a question “what is one Japanese cultural value that you appreciate, and one value that we need to adjust to fit the country that you live in? “ For those who are able to adopt and adjust cultural value have built up their intercultural competence. I myself not only realized that I have this skill but also using the skill while I was in Japan…. the two different kinds of glasses that I wear.    異文化社会、グローバルな視点から物事を見るときに必要な事。日本に里帰り中よく聞かれた質問から発見したスキルについてお話ししました。   Want to learn more about today's guest, special offer and  where you can connect with her? Click here (…) http://www.theemistyle.com   Youtube Channel http://bit.ly/herconfidenceTV Her Confidence Her Way Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theemistyle/      Don't forget to check out free resources!  Discover your gifted talent worksheet: http://bit.ly/theemistylesignup  Her Confidence Her Way Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theemistyle/  Her Confidence Her Way Youtube Channel: http://bit.ly/herconfidenceTV

Today we talk about intercultural competencies. These are the attitudes, skills, and knowledge that enable people to see from different perspectives, helping us get along together as humans. These competencies seem particularly relevant in our current political climate. My guest is Darla Deardorff. She has spent the past decade thinking about intercultural competencies. What are? Can scholars agree on a common framework? And is it possible to measure them? For Darla, intercultural competencies are as vital as math and science for education. Darla Deardorff is the Executive Director of the Association of International Education Administrators at Duke University. Her latest co-edited book, Intercultural Competence in Higher Education: International Approaches, assessment, application, was published by Routledge in June.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Peter Elvdige will interview Dr. Cornelius Grove, Author of Drive to Learn. Cornelius Grove, managing partner of the consultancy Grovewell, is also an independent scholar and author of iconoclastic books on education. After attaining an M.A.T. at Hopkins, he taught history in White Plains, NY; worked in educational publishing; travelled abroad for two years; and earned an Ed.D. at Columbia. While working for a student exchange organization, Dr. Grove taught a course on “cross-cultural communication in the classroom” at two universities.  He then taught in Beijing and co-authored Encountering the Chinese (3rd Ed., 2010). In 2005 in Singapore, he delivered a major conference paper on instructional styles worldwide. This inspired him to begin providing Americans with historical and cross-cultural perspectives on their children's classroom learning. In his first book, The Aptitude Myth (2013), he revealed that the origin of Americans' thinking about how children learn lies in the imaginations of ancient Greek philosophers. He then was invited to write entries on “pedagogy across cultures” for the Encyclopedia of Intercultural Competence (2015), and the International Encyclopedia of Intercultural Communication (2018). In his forthcoming book, The Drive to Learn (2017), Dr. Grove focuses on the contrasts between U.S. and East Asian cultures, yielding fresh insights about the relation of parenting to school success.
