European Society for Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Dialogue (ESTIDIA)
ESTIDIA (European Society for Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Dialogue) is an international association that offers an open forum for cross-disciplinary and multi-level dialogue among researchers and practitioners interested in exploring discursive and meta-discursive interaction across communities of practices and socio-historical contexts, as well as the interrelatedness of languages and cultures in various private and public environments. It aims at bringing together senior and junior colleagues belonging to related or relevant disciplines and professional orientations, who wish to establish contacts and to collaborate across cultural, geo-political and disciplinary borders in Europe and beyond.
ESTIDIA promotes exploratory and collaborative dialogue between different scientific perspectives on human communication, learning mechanisms, interpersonal relations and socio-political processes, between different socio-cultural and academic traditions, between theory-based and practice-driven investigations. Linguists, rhetoricians, anthropologists, literary scholars, education specialists, philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, as well as researchers from other related disciplines are welcome to join a vibrant research and practice community.
A major goal of ESTIDIA is to stimulate brainstorming encounters in order to establish strong trans-national collaborative teams, to set up competitive international research projects, and to foster critical thinking in academic and professional eneavours, and last but not least to reach high publication standards.
