Superdiversity - New D&I Narratives in a Superdiverse World
Speaker
Francesco Billari Rector
Amid crises, diversity is often scapegoated. The evidence points the other way: demographic change, the “mother” of diversity, has expanded longevity, education, gender equality, and mobility, making societies more innovative and prosperous. Today’s superdiversity, across gender, age, ethnicity/migration, socioeconomic origin, ability, and health, powers productivity and creativity. New D&I narratives should rely on precision data to protect and design for this richness, shifting the conversation from risk to value, and from polarization to shared wellbeing.
For information
Bocconi has always been careful to ensure an inclusive working environment and to be attentive to gender diversity and to the plurality of voices represented in its initiatives. When this is not reflected in one of our publications or events, it is due to the unavailability of the consulted experts to participate or to challenges in identifying specific profiles in our network.
