Elizabeth Adetiba is a doctoral student and National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Columbia University. Currently, her dissertation examines the presence and impact of anti-Black sentiment in the medical scholarship concerning the origins of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Her research career extends from the U.S., to South Africa, to New Zealand, where she was a U.S. Fulbright Fellow.
Prior to pursuing her doctoral studies, Elizabeth worked as a journalist and fact-checker, with her work on police violence, gender violence, and criminal justice featured in HuffPost, Slate, The Nation, and The Black Youth Project. Writing, however, remains her first love, and you can find her most recent public articles here.
A proud Dallas native, she loves all things Texas, all things related to the African diaspora, and all things that lead to liberation.
