611.06 Readings: Race and Criminal Justice

This course will convene a discussion around some of the many pressing issues facing the American criminal justice system that implicate race.  Our primary focus will be on the criminal trial, and we will use the recent documentary, OJ: Made in America, as our initial text for framing some of these issues.  Students will be expected to participate actively and candidly in each class.  The class will hold six meetings of two hours each, to be held on dates to be determined.
