Research Expertise
Description
My research is, for the most part, collaborative and interdisciplinary and my contribution to each of the projects in which I am involved is through the lens of applied linguistics. Broadly, I am interested in exploring intercultural communication in organisational settings, more specifically, in business and healthcare settings. In business contexts, my work has focused on the conduct of cross-cultural sales negotiation, including how greater integration might be achieved between the organisational, cultural and linguistic dimensions of negotiation in the design of second language teaching materials. Most of this work has centred on German-Irish negotiation and has involved empirical research with German and Irish business practitioners using a range of qualitative methodologies. I am also interested in how societal culture and organisational culture shape preferred leadership styles and have been a country co-investigator on the international GLOBE study (Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness) since its inception in the early 1990s. This is a multi-nation, multi-method, and multi-phase study which is currently investigating cultural practices, leadership ideals, and generalized and interpersonal trust in some 150 countries worldwide. Building on the earlier GLOBE research, I have also collaborated with colleagues on a comparative qualitative study on the meaning of ethical leadership and leader integrity in Ireland, Germany, Austria, the US, Hong Kong and China. In medical settings my focus is on exploring healthcare professional"patient interaction, in particular, how cultural and linguistic diversity impact on perceptions of care and its delivery. I am currently co-editing (with Jonathan Crichton) the `Handbook of Intercultural Communication in Health Care" (de Gruyter) which is due to appear in early 2026. The final area which I have started to work on recently (with colleagues here in Trinity, in the University of Hildesheim and the University of Leuphana) is an exploration of the use of Social Virtual Reality in the teaching of intercultural communication in the context of virtual exchange. This continues previous work undertaken over a number of years on telecollaborative exchange.Projects

- Summary
- This project aims to promote cultural and linguistic awareness amongst Business German students through E-learning. Students are matched with Business English students at a German or Austrian University and participate via web CT in both cultural and language awareness raising activities with an emphasis on business communication. Unlike existing web-based cultural learning programmes, the activities focus on understanding not just which values and beliefs differ or are similar across the two cultures, but also how their value systems are enacted and reproduced linguistically and pragmatically, i.e., how language is used in different cultures to achieve a particular communicative purpose. Phase one engages students in a process of cultural reflection and awareness raising using field research; word association and dialogue completion exercises; case studies; and critical incident analysis. Phase two builds on this enhanced awareness and involves students in task-based language learning on-line, requiring them to draw on knowledge of their mother tongue and the foreign language to solve problems, negotiate meaning and make culturally and linguistically appropriate decisions to achieve particular communicative objectives.
