History, culture, and the law is an interdisciplinary major that offers students an opportunity to understand how legal systems are shaped by cultural norms and historical developments, as well as how social change has been and can be created through legal processes. After studying principles of historical method and jurisprudence, students bring to bear the interdisciplinary frameworks they have begun to develop in one of seven culturally focused concentrations: Africana studies and culture Asian studies and culture culture and colonialism digital humanities film and international cultures gender and sexuality and Latino/a, Latin American, and Caribbean studies and culture. Students have opportunities to develop flexibility in perspectives, to exercise ability to work in interdisciplinary frameworks, and to foster appreciation of cultural diversity that will enable them to make a positive impact in their chosen spheres of action.
