With the end of summer approaching and vacations wrapping up, a great way to expand your horizons (as well as your DEI knowledge) can be to pick up a new book! The WTS-Boston Diversity Committee has curated a list of resources (books, podcasts, media) with DEI related topics such as anti-racism and intersectional feminism to take a closer look at history, critically reflect on our roles in society, and be open to another viewpoint we may not be familiar with. Resources on this list can help us become stronger, more empathic leaders, professionals, co-workers, and people.
