ABSTRACT
This chapter is based on data collected during a course on interculturality and Minzu at a Chinese university. During a 12-week course, students were trained to analyse discourses of interculturality and engage critically with the multitude of concepts and notions that are used globally and in China. The discursive perspective allowed the authors to introduce the students to identifying ideologies of interculturality, with an aim to support them in opening up to alternative ways of seeing interculturality. Based on essays written by the students about the question ‘Can we be good at interculturality?’ the authors identified how they describe factors contributing to being good (or not) at interculturality (need to develop knowledge about interculturality, role of the Structure) and their take on how to develop interculturality (discourses of benevolence, multifaceted use of the concept culture). Although their views and suggestions might often appear confused and confusing, traces of change in their awareness of the complexities of both interculturality and Minzu were evident.
