Cultural Conversations
Have you ever wondered why Americans introduce themselves with pronouns like “they, them, theirs†or wanted to better understand what academic integrity means? Cultural Conversations introduces you to aspects of American culture that you may have heard about, but have not had the chance to explore. It’s also an opportunity for you to share your perspective and engage in meaningful intercultural dialogue.
