Punishment, Politics, and Culture
From the Amherst College website:
In this seminar, participants "shall read closely, and discuss at length, material ranging from such 'classics' as the Book of Job, Tocqueville's Democracy in America, and Thoreau on civil disobedience, to legal cases, literary treatments of punishment, and film. The range is broad, asking each of us to move out from our areas of specialization to see the subject of punishment through an interdisciplinary lens. Participation in the seminar demands no specialized training in law or jurisprudence."
