Applying the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas, the author repositions intercultural communication within a new paradigm that challenges static interpretations of self and other, and suggests future directions for the development of a post-methodological framework based on the decentring of the researcher. This innovative work will provide researchers and language teachers with the critical tools needed to challenge instrumentalist approaches to communication in a diverse global context, characterised by conflict and fear of the other and fresh insights to scholars of education, applied linguistics and sociology.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eGiuliana Ferri \u003c\/b\u003eis a Senior Lecturer in Early Years Education and Education Studies at the University of West London, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiuliana Ferri is a Senior Lecturer in Early Years Education and Education Studies in the School of Human and Social Sciences at the University of West London, UK.
