Course Description

This class will explore the idea of "reparations," examining the place of the concept in law and history and testing its theoretical justifications and empirical evidence of its effects. We will explore reparations through a series of case studies in both domestic and international contexts, and we will investigate the relationships among race, colonial identity, and other factors grounding claims for reparations.
