(3) A conversation on cultural identity and integration: Milton Bennett interviewed by Patrick Boylan | Patrick Boylan.

BENNETT: That's a wonderful question, Patrick. But I'll tell you: every timethat I'm successful – in the sense of being understood and helping people learnthings that make a difference to them – I feel an immense sense of gratification in being able to operate in such different worlds.BOYLAN: But do you feel more “yourself” with company executives than, say,with high school kids? Or with university grad students? BENNETT: You know, that goes right to the central question of our interview, Ithink.BOYLAN: You mean, what is “yourself”? BENNETT: Precisely, which is really the identity issue. So I would say, just tobegin, that I feel equally myself in all three of those situations.BOYLAN: And yet you act differently and assume different mind sets: after all,you hardly interact with school kids as you do with corporate execs, right?

Nonetheless, while being three different Milton Bennetts, you say you remain “yourself”. Habitus.

Intercultural Development Research Institute - IDRAcademy - Curriculum - Constructivist Foundations of Intercultural Communication. Applying the New Paradigm Course Description Intercultural communication is a young field, born into the newly relativistic mid-20th century.

It addressed the then-new question, "if you have your own worldview, and I have mine, how can we understand each other? " Early interculturalists gave a powerful answer to that question: we must construct a bridge between them. The course shows how this constructivist idea generated the intercultural theory and applications that are still in use today.

People doing intercultural work need to know these roots of the field so they can use the authentic intercultural perspective and not confuse it with other, less powerful approaches to cross-cultural relations.The course will also explore instances of "paradigmatic confusion," where outcomes based on the new constructivist paradigm are pursued with methods based in earlier positivist or purely relativist paradigms.
