Many organisations are now striving to increase diversity in their ranks, but progress is slow. This is caused, in part, by a hesitance among majority group members (e.g., some men in engineering) to embrace diversity efforts and a scepticism of members of underrepresented groups (e.g., women).
In this lecture Felix Danbold, will explore recent research which reveals how the psychology of identity helps us understand where this resistance comes from and uncovers new strategies to reduce it.
