Biography

Haynes Collins is Professor of Intercultural Studies at the University of Leeds.

Dr Ramzi Merabet is a lecturer in intercultural studies at the University of Leeds.

"The edited volume represents an important critical intervention, interrogating the role of intercultural studies in an increasingly endangered and polarised world. The book addresses some of the most relevant issues facing the field through diverse voices that attest to its vitality. One notable strength is the insistence on unpacking the meaning of ‘intercultural’ to challenge established paradigms that have become hegemonic. Through critical interrogation and theoretical engagement, this collection offers a rigorous critique of how interculturalism is often co-opted by neoliberal agendas. It is essential reading for anyone interested in navigating the complex and contested terrain of contemporary intercultural studies."
