“…As to the claim that race consciousness contradicts the goals of community and delimits the possibilities for transcending the material conditions that racial hierarchies produce, Asante (2006) argues for disavowing racism rather than race consciousness (Asante, 2006; see Oliha, 2011). He argues that silencing race consciousness is an erasure of African American positionality and agency.…”

“…Such action is tantamount to dispensing a charge of 'guilty' in a court of law without sufficient evidence, yet through silence or limited exposure, we amber-light certain types of knowledge in intercultural communication scholarship, teaching, and practice, limiting the engagement of historically underrepresented perspectives in theorizing and knowledge generation. As scholars continue to grapple with the challenges of fostering healthy intercultural communities through the field of intercultural communication, I believe there is an urgency like never before to expand the epistemic foundations of the field -especially in this historical moment as different social groups and identities struggle to assert local and contextualized agendas, in globalized and volatile social spaces (see Holladay and Smith, 2009;Oliha, 2011;Oliha and Collier, 2010).…”

Present contradictions in the intercultural communication field -the pre-eminence of western communication models and the minimization and denial of particular international and racial cultural voices -delimit the possibilities for nuanced theory building, scholarship, and teaching that may address the greatest challenge facing the world community -fostering understanding and advancing peace and security. This article introduces the notion of avant-garde epistemic confluence as one possibility for engendering greater levels of inclusion of marginalized and silenced voices at the epistemic core of the field to effectively address the evolving intergroup, multi-ethnic, and inter-religious conflicts on the world's stage. Mobilizing principles grounded in mindfulness and intercultural alliance building at the individual and disciplinary levels via research, theorizing, and teaching is a driving force. Advancing a pragmatic vision of the intercultural communication field in this twenty-first-century moment with the potential to address complex cross-cultural and intergroup social and political tensions is the central mission.

“…With over 1 billion users, local versions in more than 88 countries, and 76 distinct languages, YouTube stands out as a comprehensive platform for providing outstanding customer experiences (YouTube, 2019). YouTube, a sizable platform for sharing videos, emotes viewers by fusing motion and sound in videos that may be posted by users and enabling ratings and comments on the substance and caliber of the corresponding videos (Oliha, 2011). In a study conducted by Duffett, Edu, Negricea and Zaharia (2020), YouTube access, length of usage, log-on frequency, number of advertisements viewed, and age were found to have an influence on behavioural responses.…”
