[History undergraduates] Exciting new course: Crime and Justice in Latin America
by Katherine Pickering Antonova 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Dear students, We would like to introduce you to a new course, History 289, Law, Crime, & Society in the Non-Western World, which can count toward the new legal history concentration, toward the concentration on regions of the world other than the US and Europe, or as the requirement for all majors in upper-level regions other than the US and Europe. This fall the course will focus on "Crime and Justice in Latin America," taught by Prof. Amy Chazkel. It meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:10 to 4:25 pm. This course will take students on an amazing journey through the last five hundred years of the history of justice, crime, and policing in Latin America. Professor Chazkel is a specialist in the history of crime in Latin America who has conducted decades of research and published books and articles on the subject. The class will take students all the way back to the colonial era and reach up to the present day. We will look at the whole region, from Mexico to Chile, from Puerto Rico to Brazil, from Honduras to Argentina, and read about both famous figures and everyday people who made history. Some of the most pressing issues of our day--violence, drugs, inequality, poverty-- have a fascinating past that will help understand how, for example, the massive-scale production and international traffic in cocaine came to be, how oppressed people like slaves and the poor have fought for their rights --and sometimes even won their rights, against all odds. There are no prerequisites for this course, and students at all levels, from all backgrounds, and in all concentrations are welcome. Students who have some special interest in Latin America will certainly find this course a useful way to deepen your knowledge of the region. And since there is no prior knowledge of Latin America required at all, students with no background whatsoever in Latin America will have the opportunity to be introduced to this fascinating region of the world even as they delve into some of the most critical issues of our time -- not only in Latin America but also across the globe. We strongly encourage all students to think about how law and crime in general are crucial to the understanding of history, as well as the pivotal role of Latin America in world affairs over centuries.

[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!
