Law, History and Culture

Law, History and Culture is designed for students drawn to the interdisciplinary, humanistic study of law and culture, as well as those who intend to pursue a law degree.

It offers students an interdisciplinary education in legal institutions, languages and processes that are central to social, cultural and political developments in the past and present, and play a critical role in shaping our most basic concepts and categories of thought and identity.

Students will gain theoretical and analytical perspectives on ethical, political and social issues relevant to law as they explore specific legal issues from a humanistic perspective.
