ABSTRACT

Intercultural research is global, wide-ranging and encompasses different subfields. Yet its globality is dominated by a limited amount of privileged voices, mostly from Western English-speaking scholars. Besides, economic-political forces have an influence on what the field researches, what it publishes and where and who it influences. In this chapter, the authors provide a list of problems with the field of interculturality (e.g. ‘false generosity’ towards peripheral voices). They also make suggestions to make a difference in terms of how intercultural research is done. The overarching idea that ethics should be central to research on interculturality is emphasised.
