Amanda Watson (FACULTY)
Credits: 3
Course Areas: Law And Society/ Interdisciplinary
Time: 10:30a-12:00p TTH Location: 222
Course Outline: This class uses literary texts to explore concepts in law such as justice, punishment, reward, and order. Instead of looking at these topics through the laws themselves, we will use texts to view them through the lens of those they impact. The texts will seek to help find the intersection of law and humanity through literature, from poetry to novel, from Shakespeare to Kingsolver.

Course Notes: (Face-to-Face) The UH registration system instruction mode for this course is listed in parenthesis. For this instruction mode, instructors and students are expected to normally be physically present in the classroom. If the course has a final examination, it will be in a classroom requiring your physical presence. Other assessment, such as a mid-term exam, may also be in a classroom. Whether this instructor will offer “remote presence” (starting a zoom meeting from the podium computer to enable student remote access on an occasional basis) for part or all of the semester is not known, but students should not rely on an expectation that remote presence will be available.
