Ting‐Toomey, Stella

Abstract

Stella Ting‐Toomey was born on May 22, 1952 in Hong Kong. In 1972, she was accepted into three different undergraduate schools in the United States. Undecided, she gave her youngest brother three different pieces of paper to choose from and he picked the University of Iowa. Within five years, Ting‐Toomey received both her B.A. and M.A. in mass communication. She moved to the University of Washington where she received her Ph.D. degree in speech communication in 1981. Early in her career, she taught at Rutgers University and Arizona State University, finally moving in 1989 to California State University (CSU) at Fullerton, where she is currently a professor of communication. Ting‐Toomey is an internationally recognized leader in intercultural communication, conflict management, and intercultural competence. Her contributions in cross‐ cultural communication span three decades of research, theory, and teaching.
