In this podcast, Frank Dobbin discusses the effectiveness of diversity policies in universities and businesses. Not all diversity programmes seem to have the desired effect, but simple measures such as targeted recruitment, formal mentoring and work-life initiatives show robust positive effects on diversity. And some of these initiatives appear to be particularly well equipped to withstand current political developments.
