Xie and Chao present a collection of research on mobile
communication in Asian communities and countries such as
Bangladesh, China, India, Japan, and South Korea. With chapters
written by scholars from diverse cultural and institutional
backgrounds, this book provides both localized and comparative
perspectives on mobile communication research. Exploring the way
mobile apps are used in daily life in Asian countries, Xie, Chao
and their contributors analyse how they improve lives, help people
build relationships, sustain communities, and change society for
the better. They look at areas including the role of mobile apps in
public service delivery and access, family communication, cultural
norms and identities, organizational communication, and
intercultural communication. The investigation of these topics
elevates the understanding of the cultural, familial,
interpersonal, organizational, and intercultural consequences of
mobile communication in a global context. Through examining mobile
apps use in regard to its scale, scope, depth, complexity, and
distinctiveness within the Asian context, this book furthers the
research agenda of mobile communication and enriches our
understanding of current practice and future direction of mobile
communication. A useful reference for scholars and students
interested to learn more of the development and application of
mobile communication from a global and comparative perspective.

management strategies across sectors ranging from higher education,
business, nonprofit organizations, the media industry, politics and
social movement to immigration, using both quantitative and

This book explores the communication challenges faced by parents as
they raise children who are bi-cultural, multi-cultural, or are
adopted from a heritage other than the parents. Each contributor
views the family as a site of intercultural dialogue and mediation,
and uses compelling studies throughout to examine the parents who
creatively balance cultural influences within their families. Using
television depictions of parents on Modern Family and All-American
Muslim to the everyday activities of mixed-ethnicity and
international families, Mediating Cultures reports the
communication strategies employed by the parents as they strive to
create affirming relationships between children and their
heritages. This collection brings together two largely separate
literatures of family communication and intercultural communication
studies with accessible yet context-driven studies to explain how
families integrate multiple cultural heritages and perspectives.
Although the status of women in general has gradually improved in
education, employment and leadership over the years, the big
picture for women is still disheartening, and female leadership in
higher positions is disproportionately represented. To address this
issue for more satisfactory gender equality, this study undertakes
a comparative quantitative and qualitative study of female
leadership in non-profit organizations in the East and the West by
exploring the relationships between the Rotary Club members'
cultural values and their anticipated female leadership styles in
Taiwan and the United States. Specifically, this study will provide
more academic perspectives on female leadership in cross-cultural
studies, strive to overcome conceptual and methodological biases in
current leadership research, contribute to research on leadership
behaviors in non-profit organizations, apply academic knowledge to
female leadership practices, and raise individual consciousness of
the benefit of female leadership.
Women Educators’ Experiences During COVID-19: On the Front Lines
examines the gendered experiences, challenges, and rapid changes
faced by women in higher education during COVID-19. The book’s
chapters cover lived experiences ranging from graduate students
navigating the pandemic to those grappling with balancing
motherhood and the academy. Through these diverse perspectives,
this edited collection explores the impact of the diversity and
nuances of the feminine identity on navigating higher education
during an international health crisis. Ultimately, contributors
provide recommendations for best practices and suggestions for
change for administrators, faculty, and policymakers to dismantle
the academy as a male-dominated institution. Scholars of
communication, gender studies, and higher education will find this
book of particular interest.
