ABSTRACT
I work and otherwise live in an increasingly diverse life-space, and span progressively greater cultural divides in my daily exchanges. The nature of these exchanges is likewise mutating as communication technologies enlarge our modes of interfacing (Soderberg and Holden, 2002). This is a truism for us in 21st century academics, but also for those in business, politics, refugee resettlement, space flight, disaster relief, religious propagation, and military peacekeeping. I welcome this historical sea-change, since I have made a now 30 year professional investment in the field of cross-cultural social psychology. It has always seemed to me that we few in this discipline are ideally positioned to use our accumulated knowledge in advising others how better to function across increasingly numerous and politicized lines of cultural difference.
