[History undergraduates] Exciting courses in the new legal history concentration!
by Katherine Pickering Antonova 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Dear students, We hope you're enjoying the summer and finding a way to beat the heat! But don't forget to register for your fall courses! A note on strategy: please don't avoid new courses that seem to have low enrollment for fear they'll be dropped! This just adds to the likelihood of the course not making it, and that reduces the number and variety of offerings you can get every semester! There are also tremendous benefits to be gained from taking a small course -- you get more direct interaction with your instructor and class discussions are often more lively and more productive. And don't forget eventually you may need recommendation letters from instructors - they're more likely to remember you if you weren't one of 60 students in the room! Consider our new legal history concentration! This is an excellent concentration to prepare you for law school, training as a paralegal, and work in law enforcement, but also literally anything else! (Okay, except medical school.) Legal history gives you an excellent background in comparative government and politics, critical reasoning, and professional reading and writing. And it should go without saying that anyone interested in history (hey, you!) will find enrichment through the study of concepts so central to the organization of societies around the world and across all historical periods. These exciting new courses are available this fall: - Hist 186 - Introduction to Legal History (Antonov) - Hist 286 - Law, Crime, and Society in the Ancient World (McDonnell) - Hist 289 - Law, Crime, & Society in the Non-Western World (“Crime and Justice in Latin America”) (Chazkel) A flyer providing more details on Hist 189 is attached, and more information will follow soon on History 286 and 289!
