Cross Cultural Conversation With an American Student

Sophia is a student of mine here at St. Olaf College. She follows my writings and YouTube broadcasts on cross-cultural issues. Several days ago, she told me she had received a copy of my latest book, Chickens in the Bus: More Thoughts on Cultural Differences. She asked that we hold a conversation. Today, December 17, we met in my office and had a wide-ranging conversation

Does No Mean No?: Communication in African and American Culture


My Cross Cultural Conversations program started again on October 29. I had started this series of Saturday conversations by Zoom in the spring but you put it on hold in the summer. The topic on October 29 was "Does No Mean No?: Communication in African and American Culture."

I introduced the topic drawing from my Africans and Americans: Embracing Cultural Differences, with additional ideas from my video, Culture and Business Between Africans and Americans. As expected, the participants brought up thoughtful questions and observations.
