This interdisciplinary course may be of interest to students whose fields of study include legal systems, public health, environment, international law/politics, and systemic inequalities. Students from all majors are welcomed.
Laws of War and Disaster: What kinds of laws apply in situations of armed conflict and natural disaster, including public health emergencies such as the Covid pandemic? This course will explore this question and more through a range of interdisciplinary theoretical texts and case studies of conflict and disaster from across the globe.
