RG ST 37 - Introduction to Legal Humanities
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.
