DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the 11th series of webinars for Professio
 nal Development in the Arts.\n\nA critical consideration when undertaking 
 interculturality research concerns the recognition of ourselves as the poi
 nt of departure for generating cultural understanding. We see ‘intercult
 urality’ as involving positive interactions between different cultures o
 n a number of levels\, including sub-cultures\, artistic cultures\, gender
  cultures\, linguistic cultures\, and learning cultures. This distinguishe
 s itself from a ‘fusion’ approach by taking togetherness as the starti
 ng point. The term ‘interculturality’ is\, however\, not straightforwa
 rd or  clearly defined. This presentation\, which will be a mix of compose
 d and improvised moments\, aims to illustrate how forms of poly-vocality c
 an be practiced where researchers ‘try out’ parts of the self\, experi
 ment and play. \n\nThe presenters include: *Professor Pamela Burnard*\, th
 e co-editor of _The Routledge International Handbook on Intercultural Arts
  Research_. She also supervises the doctoral researchers presenting today.
  \n\n*James Biddulph* is the headteacher of the new University of Cambridg
 e Primary School\, and soon to complete his PhD. His work is focused on ex
 ploring creative learning as a diverse and complex concept\, with a partic
 ular focus on researching creative learning with ethnic minority immigrant
  children in their homes. \n\n*Afrodita Nikolova*\, a Macedonian poet\, pe
 rformer\, English language lecturer\, creative writing facilitator with an
  Aromanian background\, and second year doctoral student\,  is researching
  young offenders’ evolving narrative identity through their engagement w
 ith spoken word poetry. She will perform a poem to elaborate how power rel
 ations shape the dynamics of interculturality in the researcher-participan
 t interaction. \n\n*Ana-Maria Mocanu*\, a Romanian from Bucharest\, and a 
 first year doctoral student\, is researching how “interculturality” in
 forms pedagogic practice and discourses in higher education. Ana-Maria ela
 borates the dynamics of “reflexivity” and how we communicate intercult
 urality depending on whose “voice” we are using.  \n
