INQ-260AN | The Anthropology of Law

Full Title: The Anthropology of Law

Topic Description:

What is “law”? How do societies define what law is and what law does? What role does culture play in shaping law, and does law play in shaping culture? This course explores these questions from the perspective of anthropology, examining both how anthropologists study the role of law in society and what results they have achieved, and ultimately what the study of law across cultures tells us about the part law may play more universally as part of the human condition
