A leading poet and a theologian reflect on the Old Testament story of Ruth, a tale that resonates deeply in today's world with its themes of migration, the stranger, mixed cultures and religions, law and leadership, women in public life, kindness, generosity and fear. Ruth's story speaks directly to many of the issues and deep differences that Brexit has exposed and to the polarisation taking place in many societies. Pádraig Ó Tuama and Glenn Jordan bring the redemptive power of Ruth to bear on today's seemingly intractable social and political divisions, reflecting on its challenges and how it can help us be effective in the public square, amplify voices which are silenced, and be communities of faith in our present day. Over the last year, the material that inspired this book has been used with over 6000 people as a public theology initiative from Corrymeela, Ireland's longest-established peace and reconciliation centre. It has been met with an overwhelming response because of its immediacy and relevance, enabling people with opposing views to come together and be heard.

And they illuminate the inner workings of the human brain and mind, and how they impact the way you connect, communicate, and collaborate. Inside, you’ll find eye-opening techniques to help you: Master your biological reactions when pressure, stress, and anxiety hijack your efforts to connect Understand how you and others can better learn from and listen to each other Lead with curiosity in all your communication strategies and learn how to give authentic feedback Feel more comfortable working on diverse team and embrace all cultural backgrounds What makes this book different from others is that it focuses on the how rather than just the why of fostering better communication.

The Handbook of Intercultural Discourse and Communication Intercultural discourse and communication is emerging as an important area of research in a highly globalized and connected world, where language and culture contact is frequent and cultural misunderstandings and misconceptions abound. The handbook contains contributions from established scholars and up-and-coming researchers from a range of subfields to survey the theoretical perspectives and applied work in this burgeoning area of linguistics. This timely volume features first a part that introduces the background detailing the scope and topics of the field; followed by one that describes four different theoretical approaches and their basic research questions, from Ethnography of Speaking and John Gumperz’s Interactional Sociolinguistics to Critical Approaches and Postmodernism. The third part, “Interactional Discourse Features,” describes and explains the features of talk that are frequently studied in cross-cultural research, such as turn-taking and politeness. The volume also includes a section on Interactional Discourse sites, examining cross-cultural communication (such as Greek-Turkish discourse). The final part considers a variety of domains in which interaction takes place, such as Translation, Business, Law, Medicine, Education, and Religion.

The plural form 'Englishes' conveys the diversity of English as a global language, pinpointing the growth and existence of a large number of national, regional and social forms. The global spread of English and the new varieties that have emerged around the world has grown to be a vast area of study and research, which intersects multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the present day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics, pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus- and applied linguistics and language history, it combines discussion of traditional topics with a variety of innovative approaches. The chapters, all written by internationally acclaimed authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the evolution of different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on current challenges.

In a world where divisions run deep and understanding seems elusive, Bridges Unseen: The Ties That Mend Us offers a profound exploration of the unseen connections that bind us together, even when we seem worlds apart. Through the compelling narrative of individuals from opposing ideologies, religions, and political views who are thrust together by circumstance, this book unravels the delicate threads of empathy that, once woven together, create a tapestry of unity. Each chapter is a journey into the human experience, examining how, despite our differences, we can forge bridges of compassion, understanding, and shared humanity that transcend the divides that often define us. The book dives deep into the complexities of human relationships, reflecting on the silent bridges of unspoken bonds and the crossroads of faith that challenge us to embrace tolerance. From walking in the shoes of others to harmonizing discord through the chords of unity, the narrative offers a rich tapestry of stories that highlight the power of empathy in conflict resolution. It explores the ways in which we can navigate the waves of change together, listen to the voices of the forgotten, and heal generational wounds that have long been left unattended. Bridges Unseen: The Ties That Mend Us is more than just a book; it's a journey into the heart of what it means to be human. It invites readers to step into the shoes of others, to see the world through different eyes, and to understand that our unseen ties—the invisible threads of empathy and compassion—are what truly bind us together. As we navigate the chapters, we learn that the language of hope is not about erasing differences, but about translating them into a shared dialogue that fosters unity. This book is a call to action for anyone who believes in the power of empathy to bridge divides, heal wounds, and create a more connected, compassionate world.
