Communication, Culture and Conflict (CCC) is a collection of research essays that explore the intersection of communication, culture and conflict outside traditional settings. This exploration occurs in a range of pedagogical, educational, labour and social contexts involving various media ranging from animated film to news coverage, as well as other human interactions in interpersonal relationships, groups and organizations. In doing so, this collection draws upon the canon of research that scholars would routinely expect to encounter in traditional books that focus on North American or Western contexts that do not normally include a Global South perspective.
