Course Description
This seminar will explore the current state of thinking about the relationship between identity, politics and the law. The seminar will focus on the idea of "reparations," exploring the history of the concept, theoretical justifications, and empirical evidence of its significance. We will explore the idea of reparations both in the domestic context and in the global south, and explore the relationships among race, colonial identity, and other factors grounding claims for reparations and the amount that is owed.
