Law and Society.

Catalog description

A. Prerequisite: CRJ 101 or PLS 103 or SJS 101 or COR 201or departmental approval. Critically examines law in everyday life. Law infuses popular media, constructs (and constrains) identity, and pervades language. In turn, media, identity, and discourse construct our understandings of law. Particular attention is paid to the law’s role in practices and discourses of resistance and in exerting social control.
