Political Science 792ND - S-Drama/ConstitutionalEquality

Constitutional law on equality, which is referred to as equal protection, is negotiated through legal cases and public opinion. Drama and drama criticism provide opportunities to engage equality through performance and discussion in a public setting outside of the courts. Because it is distinctively expressive and characteristically engaging, drama and criticism offer an important sphere of commentary. The class will engage in at least one performance and visit the set of another.Readings draw on jurisprudence, law and society, and performance studies.
