Felix Danbold is a researcher at the UCL School of Management, focusing on social dynamics and resistance to diversity initiatives. His work explores how dominant groups respond to diversity efforts, particularly through prototypicality threat and resistance to inclusion. Danbold's research examines the impact of professional prototypes on gender and racial dynamics in male-dominated professions and political contexts. He investigates how dominant groups perceive and react to diversity claims, often through counterclaims and nativist politics. His studies also address strategies for fostering inclusion, such as holistic diversity previews and tools for organizational change.
