Intercultural Communication in an Ageing Society Stephanie Ann Houghton

This intercultural communication textbook challenges students to explore and visualize intercultural communication in an ageing society by conducting and reporting on a small-scale research project. Students will explore various academic concepts and theories related to intercultural communication and link them to social trends related to increased life expectancy, shifting lifestyles patterns across life stages, the impact of artificial intelligence on the workplace and physical health and fitness among other things. I would like to thank my mother, Isabelle Llewellyn, for permitting me to use one of her paintings on the front cover of this book. At the time of painting, it represented a childhood memory. Here, it represents the need to embrace new life stages with enthusiasm at any stage of life.
