UCLA School of Law Professor E. Tendayi Achiume has been named a 2021 World Economic Forum Young Global Leader.

The honor from the World Economic Forum – the organization that presents the renowned annual summit in Davos, Switzerland – celebrates “the world’s most inspiring and responsible leaders under the age of 40.” It recognizes people who “come from different communities and industries worldwide” and are committed to making a difference.

UCLA School of Law Professor E. Tendayi Achiume testified in a virtual hearing, “H.R. 40: Exploring the Path to Reparative Justice in America,” that the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties held on Feb. 17. 

Anna Spain Bradley, a scholar of international law, human rights, dispute resolution and racism, who currently serves as UCLA’s vice chancellor for equity, diversity and inclusion, has joined the UCLA School of Law faculty as a professor of law.

Spain Bradley came to UCLA’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in 2020 after serving as a law professor and the assistant vice provost for faculty development and diversity at the University of Colorado Boulder.

In keeping with our mission to empower the next generation of human rights lawyers and leaders, the Promise Institute for Human Rights is excited to announce we are among a select group of finalists to receive a University of California Multicampus Research Programs Initiatives grant.
