Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS)

The continuum model in my book, The Multicultural Leader, is related to Milton Bennett's Development Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS). A future edition of my book will make closer connections to Bennett's model; after almost a decade of using the DMIS in my work. You can find his original thoughts in these locations...

"Towards Ethnorelativism: a development model of intercultural sensitivity" Bennett, in Education for the Intercultural Experience (Paige, ed., 1993)

"Measuring Intercultural Sensitivity: the Intercultural Development Inventory" (Hammer, Bennett, Wiseman, IJIR, 2003)

"Becoming Interculturally Competent" Bennett, in Toward Multiculturalism: a reader in multicultural education (Wurzel, ed., 2004)
