CITC'S BOOKLIST

Culturally Intelligent Training & Consulting seeks to provide its community with resources to learn about contemporary cultural issues that span the globe. 

​Here is a shortlist of texts we periodically update that might be helpful in learning about developing CI.
We encourage your reading of authors from historically excluded communities and cultures to engage a well-rounded perspective of history, as well as in personal and professional experiences and strategy.
