Institute for Developing Across Differences

Course - 2023 IDD-ICCF Middle Eastern Learning Lab & Community (Mini) Week

Brain Science & Intercultural Communication - Dr. Mai Nguyen

An introduction for all audiences

This introductory level-course will blend cognitive discussions about key concepts and frameworks from neuroscience with real-world cases and group discussions on intercultural communication.

Intercultural communication is often considered a “soft skill”; this course offers “hard science”-based evidence for making system-wide and (inter)personal changes for more effective communication. Whether you have a science background or not, you will take away new insights to use in your daily and strategic work and interactions. 

The faculty member, Dr. Mai Nguyen, has advanced specialization in neuroscience in addition to intercultural communication in the workplace as well as classroom/campus/learning environments.

Without hesitation I say, "Mai is my hero." Her fresh work and adventuresome spirit is what our profession desperately needs going forward.

She helps us recognize and understand what neuroscience is revealing about culture and communication. She helps us sort out what is of value, functional and can be recycled in our practice, shows us how to pack it up and take it with us, leaving behind what is no longer relevant and trashing what is useless.

CONSIDERATIONS

Neuroscience is often considered a topic beyond the reach of daily practitioners, many of whom may not have a background in the hard sciences. While a general understanding of ?human biology and physiology? is helpful, and we will touch on the anatomy and chemistry involved, the core concepts we will address do not require a specialized understanding in this area.
