Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads: Pitfalls and Possibilities (3-4 November 2006)
The conference at UEA - Speech Frames and Cultural Perceptions in 2006 formed the structure for the future with it's huge success as an interdisciplinary event that brought together, under the umbrella of cross-cultural pragmatics, researchers from domains which are particularly sensitive to cross-cultural issues, to promote the cross-fertilization of practises, ideas and theoretical approaches, and explore key concerns associated with communication across language and culture boundaries, in practice and theory.
Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads II: Linguistic and Cultural Representations across Media (29 June - 1 July 2011)
About the Conference
The "Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads II: Linguistic and Cultural Representations across Media" conference fostered the interdisciplinarity of research into the complex negotiations at cultural and media interfaces, by bringing together scholars at the cutting edge of domains of enquiry with shared concerns but hitherto limited interaction: inter/cross-cultural pragmatics, translation studies, communication studies.
Proceeding focused on issues of representation across languages and cultures in a range of contexts (eg the press, television, computer games, cinema, the theatre, museums, the internet), and a range of activities central to the sharing of information and knowledge in a global context: news transfer, multimedia/ screen translation, stage translation/adaptation and the provision of multilingual information generally.

Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads III: Impact – Making a Difference in Intercultural Communication (26-28 June 2013)
About The Conference
Making a difference, the impact theme of this third meeting, tapped into, and confronted, two closely related spheres of research activity in intercultural communication:
- Research in its value and contribution to wider society, i.e. the pursuit of research that makes a difference and ways of making it applicable and available to those for whom it can make a difference
- Research in its investigation of factors that impede or promote communication, understanding and respect for otherness in multicultural/globalised settings
