Legal Studies 391M - S-Law@First Sight:LglMaterilty

This course provides a structured context for students to reflect on their own learning in their GenEd courses. It utilizes social and behavioral sciences - as well as natural and applied sciences, the humanities, law, and even the arts from time to time ? to practice constitutive socio-legal inquiry, and applies this theory to multiple real world settings. We are going to use the ?angle? of sight as our vehicle for attempting to gain a better understanding of the way that law shapes our realities ? and in turn how those set the parameters for law. Simply, what we see around us ? and how we know, make sense of, and engage with it --? is the product of a myriad of social and physical forces; our project in this class is to look at law as a central player in several specific contexts AS WELL AS the site of continued contests about them.

This class is open to Juniors whose Primary Major is Legal Studies only. Pre Req: LEGAL 250 Senior and Junior Non-Majors can enroll after 12/05.
