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.

CollegeDidn't grade my work for 6 weeks. Assigned a ton of reading which was easy for me to understand but if you haven't taken a Middle East Studies class your probably gonna be confused
Loved Professor Moores's class! Lectures are extremely informative and she is a pretty easy/ fair grader I'd say. She does assign a lot of reading and she wasn't very on top of grading but other than that she's great! And she always gets back to emails within a couple of hours and is very accommodating due to classes being online.
Prof Moore is very nice and very knowledgeable in the subject matter, but with online school (covid) the class consisted of one video a week and a lot of reading. I felt that the material was too complicated to be left to self-studying, and I had difficulty understanding it. I wouldn't recommend taking an online class with her, wait for in person!
Nice professor, but the lectures were not that great, and would talk/overexplain certain subjects to death. Tough Grader. Weird expectations for essays, and can be condescending when giving advice.
I took many of professor Moores rgst islam courses. She is a very reasonable grader, and expects you to participate and get your stuff done. You dont need books for her classes to be honest. She understand we have other stuff in college and works with you to pass. Would definitely take again. Honestly I give her a 4.35 easily.
She reads the slides and her notes, so it is hard to stay awake for the lecture. Midterm and Final can bring one-page (two sided) note. four papers (400-600 words).
