Professor Don Ellis of the School of Communication, College of Arts & Sciences, has published "Intercultural Communication in Intractable Ethnopolitical Conflicts" in the Handbook of Intercultural Communication. The article deals with the unique issues in communication necessary for conflict resolution in conflicts that are deep-rooted and symbolic in nature.
Kathleen McGrory of the Department of Rhetoric, Language, and Culture, A&S, gave the keynote address at a conference of interfaith Eastern and Western religious leaders assembled in Sedona, Arizona on July 22 and 23.
The theme of the Arizona state conference was, "Will the Real Mary of Magdala Please Stand Up," one of 300 such gatherings held on those two days, the traditional feast days honoring Saint Mary Magdalene from the fourth century CE to the present. At each conference, keynote addresses were followed by day-long workshops led by Jewish, Christian and Muslim historians and scripture scholars on the subject of the historic Mary of Magdala.
Since the 2003 publication of Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code, feminist scholars, male and female, have undertaken to rescue the historic figure of this first female church leader from the official suppression that began in 591, when historic facts about her leadership role in early Christianity (in the West only) were replaced by the fiction, legends and art works that portray her as a penitent prostitute or, since the mid-1980s, as the even more fictional "Holy Grail."
