Biography

Stefanie Stadler is an Assistant Professor at the Division of of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

"In an era of globalization and transnationalism, we are faced daily with cross-cultural interactions that are fraught with potential for miscommunication and misperceptions. Stadler offers us a book that pulls together all of the underlying pragmatics at the heart of intercultural conflict. If we can better understand the causes, the world might just become a more peaceful place. This is a must read for scholars, advanced students, and all who seek a more widespread global understanding."

Diana Boxer, University of Florida, USA

"Conflict, Culture and Communication is a must read for conflict scholars and those who are interested in a systematic and multidisciplinary account of conflict and its role in intercultural communication. Stadler offers a thorough account of how understanding different cultures’ attitudes towards conflict and conflict management may result in smoother relations and more successful transactions."

Pilar Blitvich, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA
