Queer Intercultural Communication helps to expand the field of queer studies to consider cultural difference and how it affects everyday communication across the globe. These authoritative essays from established and emerging scholars bring us cases of LGTBQ people in and across race, ethnicity, gender, culture, nation, and bodies.

In this groundbreaking edited collection, Eguchi and Calafell present the field guide to queer intercultural communication. They show how intercultural communication scholarship and teaching benefits from a transnational queer lens that engages dialogically with the politics of difference. In essays that highlight intersectionality, belonging, and differences, contributors consider how culture, identity, and power are important in everyday communication across the globe. Not only does this collection offer readers a framework for considering how relationally and space influence intercultural relationships, but importantly, readers see how queer intercultural communication as praxis promises to promote social justice.
