xThis highly regarded text--now revised and expanded with 50% new material--helps students and professionals build their knowledge and competencies for effective intercultural communication in any setting. The authors' comprehensive, updated theoretical framework (integrative identity negotiation theory) reveals how both verbal and nonverbal communication are affected by multilayered facets of identity. Written in a candid, conversational style, the book is rich with engaging examples illustrating cultural conflicts and misunderstandings that arise in workplace, educational, interpersonal, and community contexts.

Dr. Ting-Toomey's sojourning and immigrant experiences--as an international student departing from Hong Kong and arriving at Iowa City, and from Iowa City to Seattle, and then from Seattle onward to New Brunswick, Tempe, and Fullerton--together with her daily contact with culturally diverse students at CSUF, have enriched her theorizing and researching journey.

His primary teaching and research interests are in intergroup-intercultural identity issues, social justice, and conflict resolution. He is a recipient of faculty recognition awards for outstanding achievements in teaching, research, and community service and was recognized as Distinguished Faculty Marshal of the College of Communications and as Distinguished Faculty Member of the Department of Human Communication Studies.

He has traveled to Burma and Iraq to monitor religious freedom conditions and testified before the U.S. Congress on religious freedom conditions in Tibet and China. In 2018, he was reappointed to the USCIRF and was unanimously elected Chair of the bipartisan commission. He has authored or coauthored articles and book chapters on Tibetan culture, identity, and conflict resolution, among other topics. He has also translated for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and many preeminent Tibetan Buddhist professors in India and North America.
