Abstract
- This project aims to gain a new understanding of redlining and the nature of how human beings occupy their time. Redlining was/is government sanctioned discriminatory race-based exclusionary tactics in real estate. Occupational science and adult learning tenets support the idea that how we occupy our time matters; Black Americans could not buy houses or participate in community activities of their choice. Our literature review leads us to postulate that historical redlining harms residents' ability to participate in formal occupations. Conceptualizing redlining through an occupational and educational lens is a novel approach and helps reveal the history of everyday living under redlining policies.
