Description

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Intergroup Communication is the first dedicated to this burgeoning field within communication studies. The essays in this collection explore geographic regions, communication processes, theories, and applied areas of interest, all pertaining to how human communication processes are influenced by, and themselves influence, the groups to which we all belong. In an authoritative volume, the project brings together research, theory, and application on both well-established and newly explored intergroup communication situations. The new perspectives not covered in earlier works include:

- how word order affects social status
- how metaphors shape intergroup relations
- how sexual orientation is communicated
- how interpersonal and intergroup communication intersect
- what neuroscience contributes to intergroup communication
- and how intergroup communication operates in previously unacknowledged settings such as the military or in the political arena.

Given that the "intergroup umbrella" essentially integrates and transcends many of the traditional conceptual boundaries in communication (such as media, health, intercultural, organizational and so forth), The Oxford Encyclopedia of Intergroup Communication provides an intriguing window into the communicative world of intergroup relations so integral to other social sciences. The encyclopedia will be an essential reference for anyone interested in intergroup communication issues, particularly research scholars and graduate students.
