Speaking

David regularly speaks at conferences and events on the following topics:

Navigating the Backlash to DEI

How to advance the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion at a time when the field is experiencing significant legal headwinds as well as cultural and political attacks.

David is an expert on the legal landscape for DEI.

Navigating Conversations About Identity

How would-be allies can engage in meaningful and effective conversations about our social differences, based on David’s co-authored book Say the Right Thing: How to Talk About Identity, DIversity, and Justice.

Authenticity in the Workplace

How organizations can reduce the pressure placed on workers to minimize or downplay outsider identities to blend into the mainstream, and create cultures of greater authenticity and belonging.

This is based on work David co-authored with Kenji Yoshino and Deloitte’s DEI Institute.
