Summary
Antonio López Peláez and Emilio José Gómez Ciriano’s chapter applies key sociological approaches to intercultural communication to social work, a field that has until recently been largely neglected in intercultural communication research, although social work practice has been fundamentally shaped by international migration and globalization. López Peláez and Gómez Ciriano analyse the different frameworks within which intercultural communication is now placed in the field of social work, especially with regard to intercultural mediation. Their chapter then focuses on the extent to which intercultural communication is present in the different degrees in social work and social care studies in Spain, before it examines examples of intercultural communication in social work practice and concludes with recommendations for social workers.
