This discussion will address how architecture has informed changing concepts of the right to exclude in American property law. More broadly, the goal is to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities in interdisciplinary methods that cross legal / architectural history.
Registration is required for this event. Lunch will be provided. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This event is co-sponsored by Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative.

As our planet becomes increasingly urban, this series seeks to expand our understanding of cities and urbanization across sites and scales. Urban Conversations particularly aim to link humanistic approaches with spatial investigations. We host public talks and provide a venue for researchers to share works-in-progress with an interdisciplinary community, in a conversational format.
