Description of the Program:
Experts in intercultural communication, in their capacity as professional bridge builders, are particularly well placed to initiate and facilitate the building of a new global culture that is inclusive and diverse and serves the larger common good. This talk therefore suggests to inscribe intercultural communication into global interhuman communication and found a new field, the field of “Global Interhuman Communication.” Intercultural communicators have a particular responsibility to discuss how such a process could be guided fruitfully.

Profile of the Presenter:
Evelin G. Lindner is a social scientist with an interdisciplinary orientation. She holds two PhDs, one in medicine and another in psychology. Her book "Making Enemies: Humiliation and International Conflict" was published by Praeger/Greenwood in 2006.　Lindner is currently establishing Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS) as an international platform for further work on dignity and humiliation. Lindner designs her life as a global citizen in order to be able to build HumanDHS globally. She teaches as a senior lecturer and guest professor at universities in Norway (University of Oslo, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim), and is affiliated to the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, while teaching as visiting guest professor wherever her path leads her, for example, among others, the United States (Columbia University, New York), Japan (International Christian University, and Rikkyo University, Tokyo), Israel (Hebrew University, Jerusalem), Australia (Queensland University), or Costa Rica (United Nations-mandated University for Peace).
