What happens when artificial intelligence, digital governance, social media, education, finance, art and cultural identities collide in an increasingly interconnected world?
The new Special Issue of E.REI – E.Journal of Intercultural Studies invites readers to explore exactly that question through nine original peer-reviewed articles, bringing together researchers and case studies from Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, China (Macau), Portugal, Timor-Leste and other global cultural centres.
In a world where algorithms increasingly shape decisions, identities and institutions, this Special Issue moves beyond technological hype to examine the human dimension of the post-digital era: ethics, inclusion, governance, intercultural communication, leadership, sustainability and creativity.
Why read this issue?
✅ 9 cutting-edge research articles
✅ 7+ countries and regions represented
✅ 3 continents connected through intercultural research
✅ Contributions spanning education, AI, public administration, communication, finance, leadership, regulation and digital arts
✅ A unique collaboration between the Centre for Intercultural Studies (CEI, Portugal) and the Doctoral School of the University of Saint Joseph (Macau, China)
Highlights include:
🔹 The impact of educational and media institutions on interfaith relations among Australian Muslim students.
🔹 Students’ perceptions of Generative AI supporting learners with special educational needs in Bangladesh.
🔹 Ethical leadership and employee trust in Timor-Leste’s private sector.
🔹 Public administration reform and gender equality policies in Macau.
🔹 Green finance and economic growth across international financial centres.
🔹 Digital culture, migration narratives and intercultural communication between Brazil and Portugal.
🔹 Technology-driven regulation in Macau’s casino industry.
🔹 Post-digital curatorial practices reshaping cultural identity across borders.
More than a collection of articles, this Special Issue launches a broader international project that will continue in 2027 with a second companion volume coordinated from Portugal, reinforcing a transcontinental dialogue between Eastern and Western perspectives on post-digital complexity.
📖 For researchers, doctoral students, innovators and globally minded readers, this issue offers an essential snapshot of how people, cultures and technologies are negotiating our shared future.
The post-digital world is already here. The dialogue starts now. 🚀
