Racism and the Law

Catalog description

Provides students and faculty with an opportunity to explore the interrelationship between the law and structural and systemic racism. The course will provide an overview of, and a variety of perspectives, on constitutional law, criminal law, international law, economic law, and many other issue areas. Each session will feature a different faculty instructor and a different topical focus. This course is pass-fail and course grading will be on the basis of a series of short reaction papers submitted over the course of the semester (there is no final exam or final paper). The course design is intended to encourage a broad-based and far-reaching dialogue.
