Book Talk with Author and Fordham Law Professor Atinuke Adediran

Disclosureland: How Corporate Words Constrain Racial Progress

About the Program

“Disclosure is the process of making facts or information known to the public. Disclosureland is a metaphor for a time and place where and when corporate shareholders and stakeholders – employees, customers, and others – expect companies to act and speak up and often about their values and their position on various social justice issues." 

— Professor Atinuke Adediran, J.D., Ph.D.

In a new book, Disclosureland: How Corporate Words Constrain Racial Progress (Cambridge University Press, January 2026), Atinuke Adediran, Associate Professor of Law at Fordham Law School, explains how corporate rhetoric on race benefits corporations while limiting their role in achieving real racial progress.  

Professor Adediran will discuss her book, followed by a fireside chat with Sarah C. Haan, Sheridan Albert '48 Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School. 

Sponsored by Brooklyn Law School’s Center for the Study of Business Law and Regulation.

About the Author
