Biography

Angela Addae is an Assistant Professor at the University of Oregon School of Law. She specializes in the use of sociolegal qualitative methodologies to explore the intersections of race, organizations, and public policy.  Her research examines how state and municipal interventions impact organizations founded and led by members of historically marginalized groups. 

Prior to joining the University of Oregon, Prof. Addae practiced as a litigation attorney, advocating for Oregon’s small businesses and large corporations in federal court.  She is admitted to practice in Oregon state courts, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  In addition to practicing law, Prof. Addae has worked with the American Bar Foundation, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Homeland Security, and the U.S. State Department.

Prof. Addae engages in advocacy work through her service on the executive boards of Oregon Consumer Justice and Abolish Private Prisons. 

Prof. Addae earned her J.D. from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law and her doctorate from the University of Arizona School of Sociology.  She is also a proud alumna of Fisk University, where she received her B.A. in Sociology.
