U.S. Law and Literature: Equality Since Brown v. Board of Education

Catalog description

This course compares how law and literature imagine social-justice-related issues such as diversity, equity, and inclusion by reading course cases and literary texts on related themes. The goal is to integrate knowledge of concepts key to discussing social justice issues in U.S. legal tradition (e.g., equal protection, privacy, stigma) with the more subjective and experiential knowledge of these issues that literature can provide. Specific topics vary by instructor and semester.
