Welcome - Critical Legal Studies LJSO 3600   Critical Legal Studies
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This interdisciplinary seminar engages prominent debates within critical legal theory. In particular, we trace the emergence and contemporary application of critical race theory, feminist and queer theory; disability or ‘crip’ analyses; and post-colonial and decolonizing approaches to law. It will introduce students to critical perspectives on different areas of legal inquiry, such as administrative and criminal justice. The course will examine these theories and movements as they emerge in core disciplinary texts and through the subsequent discussion and debate these texts generate. We also consider the application of these critical traditions to current issues, with particular focus on the critical traditions that inform Canada's evolving legal landscape and practices.
