Phiona Stanley

Associate Professor of Intercultural Communications (Tourism and Languages), Edinburgh Napier University

Associate Professor of Intercultural Communications (Tourism and Languages), Edinburgh Napier University Phiona Stanley has degrees from the University of Edinburgh (MA Honours in Politics, 1994), the University of Sydney (MEd, 2006), and Monash University (PhD, 2010); in addition, she has vocational qualifications in TESOL --RSA Cert (1993) and RSA Dip (1997)-- and the DELE Superiór in Spanish (2002). She currently works as Associate Professor of Intercultural Business Communication at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland. Phiona's academic publishing includes five Routledge books on topics including: Westerners teaching English in China, backpackers learning Spanish and engaging in volunteer work/staying in homestays in Latin America, and the gendered cultural pressures women experience to 'fit in' socially, even now. Methodologically, she has contributed to autoethnography, editing two books on the research method's intersections with culture/the intercultural. She has also published around 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. Thematically, Phiona's work is all about mobilities and about the 'intercultural' in its broadest sense: complex comings and goings of humans, non-humans, and objects in specific times and places. Within a broad focus on how cultures operate, she is particularly interested in gender, embodiment, and other normative 'rules', and in the tensions between conventionality and singularity. This has required an ambitious traversing of disciplinary boundaries and innovative cross-pollination of theory.
