How Equality Wins Book Talk with coauthors Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow LLM ’14

Join us for a live in-person event to hear the authors discuss, How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America. The renowned legal experts behind Say the Right Thing return with this clarion call for reimagining the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a divided nation. Equality in America is under siege. Corporations and universities are abandoning the DEI programs they previously championed. Affirmative action has been obliterated. The tools Americans had for advancing fairness are facing a relentless political and legal assault. So how do we build a more just nation when the old playbook is no longer viable? In this groundbreaking manifesto, Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow LLM ’14, founders of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, candidly unpack where DEI went wrong and offer a roadmap to rebuild equality for the new era. Drawing on their peerless legal expertise and extensive experience advising leaders in corporate America, academia, and the non-profit sector, Yoshino and Glasgow share tangible strategies to put this nation back on a more inclusive path, such as by fostering free speech and dissent, reclaiming the concept of merit, and welcoming groups that felt neglected by DEI. In doing so, they provide an urgently needed blueprint to ensure the work of equality can overcome the backlash and emerge stronger on the other side. During this talk they will be joined in conversation by Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, Executive Director of the Birnbaum Women's Leadership Center at NYU School of Law. In an era when equality is imperiled, How Equality Wins provides a bracing critique and hopeful call to action for anyone committed to creating a fairer society. Copies of the book will be provided free of charge to the first 75 preregistered reunioning alumni to arrive.
