    Explores cutting-edge debates in election law. Studies different perspectives on the current controversies in the field, in addition to select opportunities to engage scholars directly about their work.

    Help students make progress towards (1) in the short term: focusing in on a dissertation topic, crafting a dissertation prospectus, and identifying potential funding sources; and (2) in the long term: sending papers out for review, developing a package for the job market, and understanding the academic job market and the tenure process. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

Recommended prereq., ENGL 5169. Prerequisites: Restricted to English (ENGL) and English Lit- Creative Writing (CRWR) graduate students only.
    Addresses four broad questions: Who is a citizen of the United States? Who else can come to this country? When and why can noncitizens be forced to leave? Who has the authority to answer these questions? These questions prompt us to examine the history of U.S. immigration, the constitutional-statutory-regulatory framework that governs immigration and citizenship law, and the federal agencies that administer it. Also addresses contemporary challenges to, and assertions of, immigrants' rights. Same as LAWS 7615. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students only.

    This co-taught colloquium will expose students to highly prominent scholars conducting research on current topics at the intersection of race, social science, and the law, including racial profiling, hate crime, and affirmative action. Students will complete a final paper satisfying the CU Law seminar requirement. Same as LAWS 8645.
