Not to be confused with Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Translation in Egypt, Cuernavaca Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Development in Mexico, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue in Austria, Institute for Intercultural Dialogue in Belarus, or Center for Intercultural Dialogue in Macedonia.

The Center for Intercultural Dialogue (CID) was established by the Council of Communication Associations (CCA) in March 2010.[1] The goal of the CID is double: to encourage research on intercultural dialogue, but to do so through bringing international scholars interested in the subject together in shared intercultural dialogues about their work.[2] The CID is creating an international network of scholars, including both scholars and practitioners.[3] The CID broadly represents scholars in the discipline of Communication, but has a specific mandate to directly serve those who are members of any of the 8 member associations of CCA:

History

The CID was created as a direct result of the National Communication Association's Summer Conference on Intercultural Dialogue, held in Istanbul, Turkey, July 22-26, 2009.[4] [5] Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, in her role as Chair of the International and Intercultural Communication Division of NCA, served as conference organizer, and Nazan Haydari, based at Maltepe University in Istanbul, served as local arrangements coordinator.[6] Other members of the organizing committee were Donal Carbaugh (US), Tamar Katriel (Israel), Kristine Fitch Muñoz (US), Yves Winkin (France), and Saskia Witteborn (Hong Kong).[7] Support for the conference was provided by both NCA and Maltepe University.[8] Buzzanell (2011) describes one of the plenary presentations in some detail.[9] The Summer Conference resulted in a preconference at the International Communication Association convention in Singapore in 2010, organized by Evelyn Ho.[10] The first publication resulting from the presentations appeared in 2011, in a special issue of the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication, edited by Prue Holmes and Shiv Ganesh.[11] Broome & Collier (2012)[12] praise the increased attention paid by intercultural scholars to intercultural dialogue as a specific focus, using the CID as evidence for this attention.

Participants at the Summer Conference wanted a way to encourage further international connections for intercultural research, and so a proposal was brought before the Council of Communication Associations' Board of Directors at their March 2010 meeting to create the Center for Intercultural Dialogue, which was approved.[1] Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz was appointed Director of CID at that same meeting. The first Advisory Board was approved at the September 2010 meeting, and include: Donal Carbaugh, William Evans, Nazan Haydari, Barbara Hines, Janice Hume, Leena Louhiala-Salminen, Charles Self, Michael Slater, Katerina Sténou and Valerie White.[2] Together this group represents all 8 of the CCA member associations (through overlapping memberships), as well as the applied context of international non-profits.

Dialogue generally, and intercultural dialogue specifically, have been discussed at multiple conferences, and served as the topic of consideration by many organizations over the past few years, becoming a key term and a "preferred form for human action," and Carbaugh specifically lists this CID as one such effort.[4] Several other organizations have either the same or a similar name. The CID described in this entry is the only one designed to serve the Communication discipline specifically, and to facilitate the study of intercultural dialogue as a research topic by creating an international network of scholars.[3] It is for this reason that the CID's slogan is "Bridging Cultures Through Research."
