Abstract:

Echoing the conference theme, “Creating Sites for Connection and Action,” the panel addresses the question of how a cohesive community can be built among diverse ethnicities. Four paper presentations address this question, each emphasizing the role of communication in facilitating interethnic association, conflict management, and common identity development. The respondent facilitates an ensuing discussion between and among presenters and members of the audience.
