WVXU: OKI Wanna Know

UC's Nathan Ela answers question on Cincinnati geography, history, politics

Inquiring minds wanted to know why Elmwood Place and St. Bernard have managed to exist as separate and independent municipalities within the boundaries of the city of Cincinnati…and UC’s Nathan Ela answered on WVXU, Cincinnati Public Radio, feature program: "OKI Wanna Know".   

In the interview, Ela, an assistant professor of political science and law, explains how the two municipalities have gone back and forth over the years, but have always opted to maintain their singular status.

Ela teaches at UC and studies law and inequality in urban contexts, with a focus on property in U.S. cities.
