Acknowledgements

The book has its root in a session on Intercultural Communication held at the 2014 Buenos Aires 4S/ESOCITE annual conference, which was co-chaired by the editors. We would like to thank all colleagues who either took part in the panel, or who submitted a chapter for consideration. The greatest thanks/obrigado/gracias/diolch/gràcies go to all our contributing authors on both sides of the Atlantic for their chapters, for not giving up on the project and for bearing with our sometimes-too-punctilious editorial requests. Big thanks go to Rachel Krause at Palgrave Macmillan for first proposing the project and then pushing it forward and to Kyra Saniewski for taking care of all the final details. We’d also like to thank the anonymous reviewer who offered interesting insights into how we could improve the book and create further cohesion between the different chapters. Both authors would like to thank the British Academy for financial support given through the Newton Mobility Grant scheme (NG150083) w
