This is a survey course on mass incarceration with a specific focus on mass imprisonment in the U.S. beginning in the 1970 and 1980s. We will examine the rise and persistence of mass incarceration in the United States, organized around three central questions: What are the causes? What are the consequences? And how can we end it? In Part I of the course, we will explore competing explanations for the dramatic rise in incarceration in the U.S., drawing from a wide array of disciplines.

This course examines how history, culture, language, politics, race, class and gender influence and reflect on law and legal practice across Latin America. Drawing on Latin American studies (an interdisciplinary field consisting of political science, anthropology, sociology, literature, indigenous studies, and the like), we contextualize the making of law, its transformation, and application of law from colonial times to the present.
