In this episode of the #EUIResearch video series, Zeinab Aboutalebi, Assistant Professor at the EUI Department of Economics, discusses her research paper and project, funded by the EUI Research Council, entitled the ‘Diversity Paradox’.
Aboutalebi’s research sheds light on what happens within organisations and firms when the organisations are committed to promoting diversity, but their managers are not or, even worse, might work against the success of diversity-enhancing initiatives.
Watch the full interview in which Zeinab Aboutalebi explains what the ‘Diversity Paradox’ is, how it is produced, and how to solve it to ensure successful diversity and inclusion policies.
The #EUIResearch video series focuses on research insights that resonate with the real world across social and political sciences, history, law, and economics.
