LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Hello friends and neighbours, What an exciting time of year! This will be the first TESOL I have been able to attend in several years, so I am especially excited to be renewing old acquaintances, putting faces with the names of new friends I have met long-distance, and catching up on all the new ideas germinating in our field. Speaking of new ideas, that’s what this issue of InterCom is all about: a new book that might interest you, a new look at things we sometimes assume to be universal, a new website to “story” our lives as interculturalists, and a new convention with lots of great content we hope you won’t miss. I hope to see many of you in Portland soon. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the spring issue of the ICIS newsletter—many thanks to our contributors and tireless publishing staff. Cheers, Kris
