Overview
Our Law in Context short course introduces a series of contemporary ideas about law and social life. You will trace the formation of these ideas in their social and legal historical context and learn about legal historical narratives and the conflicting interests underpinning them.
By exploring the socio-cultural origin of legislation, you will develop the skills and knowledge required to critically evaluate contemporary law and social mores. You will be introduced to primary historical sources and use these to question and evaluate legal reforms.
The course is designed to develop a range of transferable skills predominantly related to information technology and team working. It is delivered online.
