[History undergraduates] new concentration in the History major: Legal History
by Joel Allen 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Dear History students, I hope you're having a pleasant summer. We're looking forward to fall classes starting, a little less than a month from now. As you plan your courses, consider that this semester the department is launching a new concentration for the major -- Legal History. This could be great for you if you're interested in pursuing a legal career, or if you just like reading legal texts as sources for History -- things like court cases, witness testimonies, decrees and statutes, and the like. The following courses in Fall, 2015 fit this new category: - Hist 186: Introduction to Legal History: TuTh, 12:15-1:30 - Hist 288: The History of Privacy in America (Topics in US Legal History): MW, 10:45-12:00 - Hist 289: Islamic Law in Colonial Contexts (Topics in Non-western Legal History): TuTh, 9:15-10:30 Look for additional offerings in European, Jewish, and premodern legal history in the coming semesters. Remember that students after 2010 need THREE courses (9 credits) to complete a concentration. (As a side, note also that Hist 288 would satisfy the US concentration, and Hist 289 would satisfy the upper-division non-western requirement, if those are relevant to you.) Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Prof. Allen -- Joel Allen Associate Professor and Chair History Department, Queens College Flushing, NY 11367 office: 718-997-5350 fax: 718-997-5359
