From their web site: Our primary mission is to use the power of the Internet to help facilitate communication among the disciplines of intercultural relations (cultural anthropology, cross-cultural psychology, intercultural communication, etc.). We wish to help researchers and teachers keep up with relevant developments (research results and methods) in other related intercultural relations disciplines. We also seek to promote efficient research and effective teaching and training in intercultural relations (ICR). We seek to promote efficient intercultural research by (1) providing an outlet for scholarly publication in our own journal The Edge: The E-Journal of Intercultural Relations, (2) compiling a bibliography of recently published ICR research, and (3) providing a online forum for interdisciplinary discussion in our ICR Bulletin Board.
