Spotlight Storries: Resistance to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

In this six-part series, writers for The Diversity Storr, highlight the increased resistance and backlash to DEI efforts, and the nature of such resistance. Resistance to social change is common, and often led by political parties from the right and far right, who believe that advancements in equalities for minority groups threaten their way of life and society more broadly. Each article in this series provides insights into the current global picture surrounding resistance to DEI, specifically in Western societies. Incorporating current research and data, it is hoped the articles will help inform practitioners and other champions of diversity about the nature of resistance, its socio-political context, and other dynamics.
