Summary/Abstract: The multidisciplinary literature of intercultural communication increasingly addresses the importance of communication competence as impacting both the work and lived experience of scholars. This paper explores the uncertain and ill-defined spaces of the author’s intercultural interactions during a semester-long Fulbright exchange in Romania. Incorporating a broad theory base, the exchange experience is examined through Moran’s Cultural Knowings as the author reflects on personal and professional learning.
