Angela Addae

Angela Addae serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of Oregon School of Law, with primary affiliations in the Business Law Program and Legal Studies curriculum. Her academic position bridges legal education and sociolegal research methodologies within the institution's law school framework.

Her educational trajectory demonstrates interdisciplinary rigor:

• Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Fisk University
• Juris Doctor from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law
• Doctorate from the University of Arizona School of Sociology

Professor Addae's research program employs qualitative sociolegal methodologies to investigate systemic interactions between race, organizational structures, and public policy implementation. She specifically examines how state and municipal interventions affect organizations founded and led by historically marginalized communities, with scholarly contributions spanning nonprofit sector dynamics, prison privatization challenges, urban redevelopment impacts, and regulatory enforcement disparities. This work consistently reveals institutional mechanisms that perpetuate racial inequities while proposing pathways for structural reform.

Her publication record demonstrates increasing scholarly influence through targeted examination of systemic racism in regulatory systems. Recent works critically analyze constitutional challenges to private prisons, economic displacement in Black business districts, and anti-Black bias in liquor licensing enforcement - revealing patterns where ostensibly neutral policies produce racially disparate outcomes across multiple institutional contexts.

Complementing her academic work, Professor Addae maintains active advocacy engagement through executive leadership roles with Oregon Consumer Justice and Abolish Private Prisons, directly translating research insights into consumer protection initiatives and prison abolition efforts within Oregon's policy landscape.
