Director’s Biography:

Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz is Director of the Center for Intercultural Dialogue of the Council for Communication Associations in Washington, D.C., and Professor Emerita of Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. She has been Chercheur invitée (Invited Scholar) at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, France, and Senior Fellow at the Collegium de Lyon. She has served as an expert for the Division of Cultural Policies and Intercultural Dialogue of UNESCO, and presented at the World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue in Azerbaijan. Leeds-Hurwitz is interested in how people construct meanings for themselves and others through interaction; how cultural identity is constructed and maintained; and how conflicting identities or meanings can be conveyed simultaneously. She studies disciplinary history to learn why scholars examine particular topics in specific ways; often stops to consider particular research methods or theories; and always takes an interdisciplinary approach to problems. Her article “Notes in the history of intercultural communication” published in Quarterly Journal of Speech (1990) provides the standard introduction to intercultural communication in the USA. Her major publications include: The Social History of Language and Social Interaction (2010), Socially Constructing Communication (2009), From Generation to Generation: Maintaining Cultural Identity over Time (2005), and Wedding as Text: Communicating Cultural Identities through Ritual (2002). Leeds-Hurwitz earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
