In 2022-2023, LCHP Researcher Dr. Paul led a research team that studied street naming practices in Los Angeles. The team, consisting of student research fellows Maggie Seay, Tessa Fier, and Rachel Tokofsky, explored what personal names were commemorated in LA street names, why certain individuals are commemorated with street names while others aren’t, and what effects these names have in neighborhoods. In September 2023, Dr. Paul published an article based on this LCHP-funded project in the American Historical Review as part of the “engaged history” forum. We are very proud of her academic accomplishments and we are happy to continue supporting this ongoing research in 2023-24.
