The inclusion rider is co-authored by Fanshen Cox, a producer and development executive, and Kalpana Kotagal, a civil rights and employment attorney. But after McDormand’s 2018 Oscar speech, it was the academics at the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, a think tank at the University of Southern California, who led the charge publicly advocating for the rider — perhaps ineffectively.
