April 16-17, 2010. Legal historians have long explained law through its relationship to what lies "outside" it: law and society, law and policy, law and economy. What if we imagine them as the same phenomenon - not law and economy, but law as economy (or economy as law)? What of ... as peace?

What if we imagine them as the same phenomenon - not law and economy, but law as economy (or economy as law)? What of law as art, as science, as war, as peace?

[Expand Summary]
This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to important historical, cultural, literary, and political issues concerning African Americans. Through critical readings of literary, artistic, and filmic texts, this course provides an overview of African American experiences from the 17th through mid-20th centuries. Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of the historical and cultural experiences of African Americans from the beginning of the Transatlantic Slave Trade through the Civil Rights Movement. To focus our journey, the course begins with a discussion of the discourse of African American Studies as an academic discipline. Students will proceed to examine the process of forced emigration from Africa, chattel slavery in the British Colonies, the formation of African American identity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and struggles for social transformation and resistance by African Americans in the United States.

Dr. Barbara Sarnecka, Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, studies the relationship between young children's number word knowledge and how it predicts their performance on a numerical task without number words, i.e. What is the early meaning of counting "one", "two," and "three"? She has discovered that many children answer the question "how many" with the last word used in counting, despite not understanding how counting works. Only children who have mastered the cardinal principle, or are just short of doing so, understand that adding objects to a set means moving forward in the numeral list whereas subtracting objects mean going backward.

Beginning with its landmark decision in Baker v. Carr (1962), the Supreme Court has been actively involved in shaping American democracy for almost 50 years. In his dissent, Justice Felix Frankfurter warned we would rue the day we allowed judges, acting as amateur political scientists, to have the final word on the functioning of American democracy. Enough time has passed to test Justice Frankfurter's hypothesis. Do cases like Bush v. Gore (2000), where five Justices prevented the counting of Florida's votes in the 2000 presidential election, and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010), where five justices turned American democracy over to corporate lobbyists, mean that Frankfurter was right? Professor Burt Neuborne is the Inez Milholland Professor of Civil Liberties at New York University School of Law and the Legal Director of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law. He focuses his research on the operation of the democratic process.
