Integrity & Incentives: Seeking Equity In Historic Preservation Law, Anneka Olson
Integrity & Incentives: Seeking Equity In Historic Preservation Law, Anneka Olson
Access*: Interdisciplinary Journal of Student Research and Scholarship
In this article, the author presents a case study of mobile home park residents seeking historic designation in the face of neighborhood demolition. The neighborhood’s ineligibility to become a historic site under current law can help demonstrate larger patterns of inequitable outcomes within historic preservation practice. In particular, the author argues that the application of preservation law—despite being formally neutral regarding issues of racial and socioeconomic equity—reinforces existing racial, economic, and spatial inequities.

Theses and Dissertations
This thesis uncovers the history of the Peace Palace and The Hague’s role in the early days of the internationalist movement.
