LAW 901 - Race and Law Seminar

Unit(s): 3

In this course, we examine the complex interrelationships between the U.S. legal system and the broader structural inequalities reflecting the legacies of White Supremacy and racism in the United States. The course will survey racism embedded in core areas of law and policy such as criminal, employment, immigration, property law, as well as in the culture in which law is made. Emphasis will be on providing critical race perspective on the intersection between racialized experience and the law, and on increasing student’s critical reflection on their own experiences, thinking, writing, and oral communication skills and strengthening your capacity for engaging across real and perceived differences in a small group learning environment and beyond.
