Sociology of Law.

Catalog description

This course will focus on how law and society co-produce one another, and explore who benefits and bears the burden of legal structures and practices, addressing how social justice can emerge from these tensions. We will address the uses of law for social control and the perpetuation of inequalities; how law informs everyday life, and how it can also be part of cultures of mobilization; and the conditions and limitations of legal change through the lens of Critical Race Theory.
