Subject: Hello- Convenor Introduction

Dear members of the British Association of Applied Linguistics Special Interest Group in Intercultural Communication (BAAL SIG in IC for short!)
Hello! I am your Convenor for this Special Interest Group. We have had a few quiet years but are coming back into action now and hope to re-start conversations about Intercultural Communication within Applied Linguistics.
Here is a short biography about me; please do also introduce yourself to the group if you wish so we can get an understanding of who we have here, and your particular interests. Thanks!
I've worked in almost every kind of educational setting imaginable in my career of 30 + years in Higher Education. Originally trained as a French and Spanish language teacher, I became interested in IC after living in Central America for 4 years where I soon learnt that knowing the language was only part of the complexities of understanding other (even those who speak the same mother tongue as me:).
My PhD research (2010) focused on interculturality in peer (tandem) learning and since then I have also worked on intercultural dialogue, internationalisation and am currently working with some partners in Sheffield on interculturality in healthcare settings (including green prescribing).
You can find me online at the University of Sheffield (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/slc/people/academic/jane-woodin) and/or Researchgate (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jane-Woodin)
I will be at the BAAL Conference on Thursday 24th August in york and hope to meet some of you at the SIG track. I will report back to this group afterwards.
We are lucky to have had 2 offers of support for the committee which has lost a few members:
Irena Kuzborska (Treasurer)
Giuliana Ferri (meetings Secretary)
Many thanks to Irena and Giuliana !
We will be back in touch soon to let you know of activities etc. In the meantime, I do hope you will introduce yourself to the group, and let us know of your particular interests.
All good wishes
Jane
