Description:

In this course we explore the intersecting relationships between law, crime, and justice in society and culture. We examine the ways in which racial/ethnic identity, gender, sexuality and economic status shape the formation of law as well as societal responses to law. Our exploration of law in society incorporates a thorough analysis and critique of classical liberal political theory, as well as critiques of law from Marx, Weber, critical race theory, feminist theory, and queer theory.
