Intensive: Special Topics in African Nova Scotians and the Law

1 credits · Professional

This intensive course will focus on special topics related to African Nova Scotians and the law using the African Nova Scotian context to ground a broader discussion of the topic’s impacts on Black people more generally. It will involve a different topic each year. The intensive will engage individuals who play leading roles in addressing the specific topic (academics, legal practitioners, social science researchers, community activists, policy makers) and will utilize a critical race approach to analyze the law’s role in creating, sustaining and redressing anti-Black racism. CALENDAR NOTES: This course does not fulfill the law school’s major paper requirement.
