  • IAU Horizons issue, Volume 28, no. 2, 2023

    We are pleased to announce the release of a new edition of IAU Horizons. This issue of IAU Horizons offers insights on IAU initiatives and activities and presents articles related to the strategic priorities of the Association.

    The In Focus section of this volume is dedicated to the theme Countering Global Strife Through Interculturality. In his keynote address at the IAU International Conference in 1990, the UNESCO Director-General Federico Mayor Zaragoza declared that "universality and diversity are not to be construed as opposition, but rather a dialect, which has as its synthesis interdependence." More than 30 years later, this message is more important than ever. The In Focus section of this volume welcomes contributions from a diversity of authors who discuss the intricacies of interculturality in the university and beyond.
