Welcome to the Interculturalism project home page. The project is an exciting opportunity to engage in creative and innovative inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research dialogues which seek to explore the meaning and implications of interculturalism, from both a practical, political perspective and in a more strictly theoretical sense.

 


The project will critically engage with a number of core themes:

  • the various relationships between ‘interculturalism’ and ‘multiculturalism’
  • interculturalism in an educational context
  • religious issues and interculturalism
  • interculturalism in art, literature and film
  • resistance to interculturalism through monoculturalism
  • race, ethnicity and interculturalism
  • interculturalism and sexuality
  • interculturalism and subculture
  • interculturalism between ‘West’ and ‘East’
  • interculturalism and politics

Related themes will also be identified for development and exploration. Out of our deliberations it is anticipated that a series of related cross context research projects will develop.
