Center for Intercultural Dialogue

For other uses, see Center for Intercultural Dialogue (disambiguation).

The Center for Intercultural Dialogue (CID) was established by the Council of Communication Associations (CCA) in March 2010.[1][2] Intercultural dialogue occurs when members of different cultural groups, who hold conflicting opinions and assumptions, speak to one another in acknowledgment of those differences. As such, it forms "the heart of what we study when we study intercultural communication."[3] The goal of CID is double: to encourage research on intercultural dialogue, but to do so through bringing international scholars interested in the subject together in shared intercultural dialogues about their work.[4][5][6]

CID is creating an international network, including both scholars and practitioners. CID broadly represents scholars in the discipline of Communication, but has a specific mandate to directly serve those who are members of any member associations of CCA. Since 2016, these have included:

When CID was founded in 2010, one other association was a member:
