ALEXANDRIA, Va. – SHRM, the trusted authority on all things work, workers, and the workplace, today announced that acclaimed legal experts and authors Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow will deliver the opening keynote, “The New Legal Era: What’s Permissible — and How to Lead Through It,” at SHRM BLUEPRINT for Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) 2026.
The keynote is set for November 16 in Nashville, Tenn., during SHRM BLUEPRINT, which runs November 15–18 as part of All Things Work 2026.
As organizations confront mounting legal uncertainty and heightened scrutiny of workplace inclusion efforts, Yoshino and Glasgow will provide leaders with a clear-eyed view of today’s compliance landscape. Their keynote will examine the implications of Ames v. Ohio, changing federal enforcement priorities, and the legal and cultural forces reshaping inclusion strategies.

A Harvard, Oxford, and Yale Law School graduate, specializing in constitutional and antidiscrimination law and previously served as deputy dean at Yale Law School. His work has appeared in leading academic journals, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.

A nationally recognized expert on allyship and the law of diversity, equity, and inclusion, he is a dual-qualified attorney in New York and Australia who previously practiced employment, labor relations, and antidiscrimination law at King & Wood Mallesons. His work has appeared in publications including TIME and Harvard Business Review.
Together, Yoshino and Glasgow are the co-authors of Say the Right Thing: How to Talk About Identity, Diversity, and Justice and How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America. Through their scholarship and work with organizations, they offer practical guidance for navigating rapidly evolving legal and cultural questions surrounding workplace inclusion.
