This interdisciplinary course highlights the importance of the humanities in relation 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 law has become a complex practice and knowledge.

CollegeSuch a bad lecturer. The only teacher I have seriously disliked at UCSB. Thought it would be interesting but I had to force myself to do anything for this class. I went to almost all the lectures and still did not do good int this class.
Really easy class. A lot of writing and you must include the readings in your essays. The lectures were pointless and she didnt say much in class. Focus on text and youll be fine
The subject matter is interesting and so is the class when you have discussions, debates, or questions, but her lectures can get pretty dull. Section depends on the people in it, but the TA tends to talk a lot. Midterm was easy just two quick essays and you just have to argue a point. Not graded on style. Decent class. Reading is really optional.
