Full Session Description (as long as you would like): This presentation will present and discuss the Intercultural Personhood theory (IPT) as developed by Young Yun Kim. Kim’s IPT disaggregates into three interwoven domains: functional fitness, psychological health, and intercultural identity. I speculate that global competence is a higher threshold manifestation of IPT as reflected in the continuum of Kim’s growth-adaptation model, which is supported by the premise that Kim’s model has been critiqued by others to reflect “a way of being,” and this premise supports the global competence premise of being transcendent of other identity frameworks. The IPT is reflected in a four-pronged structure: personal communication, social communication, environment, and predisposition. This presentation will briefly explain each component, and will be followed with a guided discussion focused on education and guiding students toward global competence.
