Kenji Yoshino is the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at the NYU School of Law. Prior to moving to NYU, he was the inaugural Guido Calabresi Professor of Law and Deputy Dean of Intellectual Life at Yale Law School, where he taught from 1998 to 2008. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard College, took a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, and earned his law degree at Yale Law School. A specialist in constitutional law, antidiscrimination law, and law and literature, Yoshino has published in major academic journals, such as the Columbia Law Review, the Stanford Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal. He has also written extensively in other popular venues, such as The Boston Globe, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. He has appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor," "Washington Journal", and "The Tavis Smiley Show." His 2006 book, Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights, combines autobiography and legal scholarship and, as a result, it is "as healing as it is polemical," according to Publishers Weekly. He is currently working on a book on Shakespeare and the Law.
