Disclosureland: How Corporate Words Constrain Racial Progress

Former Center for Racial Justice visiting fellow, legal scholar, and sociologist Atinuke O. Adediran discusses her new book Disclosureland: How Corporate Words Constrain Racial Progress. Drawing from social science research and legal analysis, Disclosureland uncovers the power structures and institutional practices that determine how companies respond to calls for change. Critical, insightful, and forward-thinking, Disclosureland challenges readers to look beyond public rhetoric to understand how corporate narratives shape our collective pursuit of fairness, equity, and shared responsibility. Adediran will be joined in conversation by Mark S. Mizruchi, U-M professor of sociology.

This event is open to U-M students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members and is co-sponsored by the U-M Department of Sociology, Michigan Business Law, and the Black Law Students Association.

Lunch from Jerusalem Garden provided.
