"Synthesizing Conceptualizations of ICC: A Summary and Emerging Themes" (session 2 reading)

Deardorff, D. K. (2009). The Sage handbook of intercultural competence. Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Sage Publications, 264-269. 

Additionally, the Table of Contents points to important readings worth pursuing, including conceptualizations emerging from specific language communities, and I recommend skimming anything available from Chapter 1 to get some of the breadth and challenges involved in conceptualizing intercultural competence (see Amazon link).
