How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America

Corporations, law firms, and universities are abandoning the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs they previously championed. 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?

Warren Distinguished Professor of Law Orly Lobel in conversation with David Glasgow, executive director of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law. They will discuss his new book written with coauthor Kenji Yoshino
Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at NYU: How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America. 

Join us for this candid conversation about what led to the anti-DEI backlash, where DEI approaches have missed the mark, and practical strategies for building a fairer society in the current environment.

Law Students and Faculty welcome. 

Lunch will be served.

Registration is not required.
