Introduction to Legal Humanities . ENGL 37
This interdisciplinary course highlights the importance of the humanities to questions of law and justice, law and culture, and law and empire, as well as the implications of each of these pairings for our understanding of rights, protections, exclusions, violence, and oppression. The course pays particular attention to the ways in which marginalized individuals and groups have wielded law to promote justice and transform culture. Students interrogate the humanities from the perspective of law, as well as the intellectual and cultural contexts through which the law has become a complex practice and knowledge.

I took her for 103LL. I failed the midterm which was the worst test ever written. Memorizing 34 page readings and having to spell the speakers name correctly out of the numerous, extensive readings is helpful how? I decided to take the class for no credit which made my life 100x better. Completely unnecessarily hard, not worth the headache.
Horrible professor, does not care about her students and is extremely condescending. Class is super reading heavy, midterm and final were about super specific things so if you don't do the readings, goodluck. Laughs at you for making dumb questions and will also call you out for checking your phone, so beware. Don't take this class.
ENGL37 is a new class so grading was super easy, readings in retrospect weren't necessary bc they covered the important stuff in lecture. VERY boring though, lectures were hr +15 but felt like 2 hrs. TA Kelsey Cooper was amazing!!! midterm and final were easy, a couple essay questions and several IDs with a bank
Easily the worst class I have taken at my time at UCSB. The tests were unnecessarily hard and based on books that we were supposed to memorize. This class was absolutely not worth the time or effort and there was no support from the teacher. Do not take her classes.
