Kenji Yoshino

    Kenji Yoshino explore les complexités des droits civils et de la justice à travers l'analyse littéraire et le discours juridique. Son travail examine comment les normes sociétales affectent l'égalité et comment la compréhension des textes littéraires, en particulier les pièces de Shakespeare, peut éclairer les défis éthiques. Yoshino cherche à découvrir les moyens cachés par lesquels les droits sont sapés, tout en proposant des voies vers une société plus juste. Son écriture se caractérise par une profonde synthèse de la théorie juridique et des traditions humanistes.

Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow, founders of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, are here to show potential allies that these conversations don't have to be so overwhelming. Through stories drawn from contexts as varied as social media posts, dinner party conversations, and workplace disputes, they offer seven user-friendly principles that teach skills such as how to avoid common conversational pitfalls, engage in respectful disagreement, offer authentic apologies, and better support people in our lives who experience bias"-- Provided by the publisher
