Christa Uehlinger, Ph. D., Rooney Scholar from Robert Morris University (RMU), will be hosting a workshop with University of Pittsburgh students on developing intercultural competence overseas. This can be a workshop for students who have studied abroad or who will study, live or work abroad, or just want to get some understanding of how to recognize that everyone is a product of their own culture and how to work inter-culturally!

She received her Ph.D. and Master’s degree in law from the University of Zurich and holds further certificates in intercultural communication from ICI/Portland, OR, in PR from NYU and Psychosynthesis. Her primary research subject is developing intercultural competence, using a comprehensive approach. She has written books and several articles on this topic, as well as developed a game,“ Puzzling Intercultural Stories.” Dr. Uehlinger has lived, worked, and traveled in Europe, Canada, the US, Australia, and Asia.
