This seminar explores critical theories of race, gender, and sexuality with an emphasis on intersections of those theories and identities. One area of focus will be contrasting the fundamentals of Critical Race Theory ("CRT") with the current media and legislative furor about the role of CRT and anti-racism in education. Another focus will be on the way that recent dramatic shifts in Supreme Court doctrine affecting these identities (the Harvard case, Dobbs, 303 Creative) alter the stakes and the claims of critical theory. We will also explore critical theories and law school pedagogy. Finally, the course may feature workshops with scholars innovating in these areas.
Prerequisites:
Previous experience with critical race theory. feminist or queer theories will be helpful, but is not required.
