“…Completing a major assignment built on personal interest/career choice • Joining in a group project focused on contributing to the local community • Proposing solutions (or steps to solutions) for local social justice issues A major assignment, depending on the course level, could be a full literature review or even a substantial annotated bibliography on the topic. The assignment could be to engage with a cultural community to learn and return, working with the community to produce something they can use, from the knowledge the community already holds about themselves (LaFever, 2006;Vannini & Mosher, 2013). Effective group projects for intercultural communication can range from having individuals bring together their communication observations from their own public activities to come up with a theory of the local culture, or have students explore hidden histories of local cultures and add their documented findings to a Wikipedia page.…”

In December 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its calls to action for reconciliation related to the oppressive legacy of Indian Residential Schools. Required actions include increased teaching of intercultural competencies and incorporation of indigenous ways of knowing and learning. Intercultural Communication as a discipline has primarily been developed from euro-centric traditions based in three domains of learning referred to as Bloom's taxonomy. Scholars and practitioners have increasingly identified problems in the way that intercultural competency is taught. The decolonization of education is implicated in finding solutions to those problems. Indigenization of education is one such effort. This chapter posits the Medicine Wheel, a teaching/learning framework that has widespread use in indigenous communities, for use in instructing intercultural communication. Bloom's taxonomy of the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains, is missing the fourth quadrant of the Medicine Wheel, spiritual. Examples of the spiritual quadrant are offered.

This paper explores how ethnographic approaches to third sector and nonprofit studies allow for context-based understandings of the links between volunteering and development. Drawing from our ethnographies of volunteering in Sierra Leone, Burundi and the Philippines, we argue that ethnographic methods could tease out local ideologies and practices of volunteer work that can challenge knowledge monopolies over how volunteering is understood and, later, transcribed into development policy and practice at various levels. The contribution of ethnography as a methodology to third sector research lies not only in the in-depth data it generates but also in the kind of ethos and disposition it requires of scholars—providing attention to issues of power and voice and leaning into the unpredictability of the research process.
