This incisive Handbook brings together a wide range of contributing authors to present diverse cultural and disciplinary perspectives on communication and culture. It explores intercultural communication, theory, competence, training, and education, emphasising how communication and culture are inextricably interlinked.

Experts provide insights into the topic through the lens of various disciplines including international education, biblical studies, cross-cultural psychology, and intercultural communication. They recognise the unique interdependencies of the field with cross-cultural and social psychology, as well as linguistics and anthropology. Chapters cover a broad array of topics such as the impact of digital media, diversity in organisations and the multicultural classroom. Pairing theoretical foundation with practical application, the Handbook ultimately establishes a comprehensive understanding of culture's indelible influence on communication.

The Handbook on Communication and Culture is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of social psychology, cultural sociology, and communication. Intercultural practitioners and policymakers will also benefit from its delineation of intercultural communication theory.
