Kabul, Afghanistan, to Ferguson, Missouri, USA, the youth we call
“millennials” are movers and the moved, shakers and the shaken, and
especially voices of conscience, in social movements that are creating
rumblings and earthquakes in national communities and global communities.
The movements especially use mobile communications technology in connecting
leaders, participants and observers of the rumblings and revolutions. The
theme of the Intercultural Communication Conference, organized by the
School of Communication at Texas Southern University and, scheduled for
April 14-15 of 2016 will be the relationships among millennials of the
world, multiculturalism among citizens of the world, and the utilization of
mobile connectivity in this “moving” and “shaking.”
