Legal Studies 394FI - Law at First Sight

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. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Legal majors.
