About this course

Using the perspective of anthropology, this course investigates concepts and practices of law, justice and injustice across cultures. Students learn about and critique methods of dispute resolution, and concepts of justice, norms, punishment and rehabilitation. Students engage with ethnographic cases studies - ranging from non-Western, small scale communities to totalitarian and capitalist systems, that explain how different types of societies configure power, maintain order and how they negotiate, mediate and adjudicate conflicts. Students also learn about the integrated cultural aspects of systems of injustice such as gender exploitation, racism, xenophobia and colonial and post-colonial forms of domination as well as cultural movements and transcultural legal concepts such as human rights, that attempt to resist these systems.
