Atinuke Adediran
Associate Professor of Law
Fordham University
at time of fellowship
2024 to 2025
Adediran will write a book about how large companies–often in response to societal and shareholder pressure–construct public images demonstrating their commitment to racial equity. She documents that too often companies use carefully constructed images to shield themselves from criticism about racial inequities instead of enacting corporate policies that would benefit communities of color.
