*36th Intercultural Communication Conference, 2016*
*FIRST ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 4, 2016*
From Tunis, Tunisia, to 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 that will be
organized by the School of Communication at Texas Southern University and
is scheduled for April 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.”
