LAW 317 Climate Change: Interdisciplinary Perspectives & International Law  
This interdisciplinary course will draw on legal, scientific, and cultural perspectives to discuss climate change, species extinction, biodiversity loss, capitalism, and the Anthropocene. We will read books and articles from various disciplines, host experts from multiple fields, watch documentaries, and discuss the great ecological changes and challenges of our time, emphasizing the interconnections between law, science, and society. 
Wednesday 6:00 pm - 9:40 pm in 109 O'Brian
SUNY Distinguished Law Professor Irus Braverman

LAW 407 Law, Race and the Built Environment
This course examines the relationship between space, race, and law in American history. In the process, it folds familiar events including the police shootings of the twenty-first century, Jim Crow schools and neighborhoods in the twentieth century, and the brutal slave order that preceded them into a larger story about how we created and defined the spaces of America. In order to tell this story, we will interpret space broadly, as the built environment, as landscapes, as city spaces, as county, state and national geographies.
Thursday 4:00 pm - 6:40 pm in 102 O'Brian
Professor Joel Black
There are pre-requisites (LAW 101 and LAW 201 or LAW 202), but interested students can contact me and I will force register them for this course.
