ICC-Languages Webinar: Avoiding the Ravages of Reification with Constructivist Intercultural Concepts

 Presentation, 26 sep 2024 - 26 sep 2024

This presentation will give examples of how reification of language and essentialist definitions can interfere with the effective practice of intercultural work. It will define the epistemological position of constructivism in contrast to other knowledge paradigms and suggest how constructivist definitions can generate more coherent training and education in the field. 🎤Speaker: Milton J.
