To Share Or Not To Share: Cancer And What Teachers Should Tell Students About It, Robert A. Eckhart
To Share Or Not To Share: Cancer And What Teachers Should Tell Students About It, Robert A. Eckhart
Robert A. Eckhart
How much personal information to disclose to students is a fundamental question teachers have been asking themselves for decades. How much should teachers tell their students – a lot or a little? How should they tell them –in class, or face-to-face? Should the teacher only tell their students in a limited manner and then not answer questions, or should they be prepared to answer any and all questions the students might have? These are difficult questions, but if the teacher approaches the disclosure in the right way – avoiding irrelevant, overly negative, or offensive disclosures – it can be a …
'Mass Of Madness': Jurisprudence In E.M. Forster's A Passage To India, Allen P. Mendenhall
'Mass Of Madness': Jurisprudence In E.M. Forster's A Passage To India, Allen P. Mendenhall
Allen Mendenhall
Law-and-literature scholars have paid scant attention to E. M. Forster’s oeuvre, which abounds in legal information and which situates itself in a unique jurisprudential context. Of all his novels, A Passage to India (1924) interrogates the law most rigorously, especially as it implicates massive programs of ‘liberal’ imperialism and ‘humanitarian’ intervention, as well as less grand but equally dubious legal apparatuses – jail, bail, discovery, courtrooms – that police and pervert Chandrapore, the fictional Indian city in which the novel is set. The study of law in Anglo-India is particularly telling, if troubling, because India served as ‘a model for …
Transnational Law: An Essay In Definition With A Polemic Addendum, Allen P. Mendenhall
Transnational Law: An Essay In Definition With A Polemic Addendum, Allen P. Mendenhall
Allen Mendenhall
What is transnational law? Various procedures and theories have emanated from this slippery signifier, but in general academics and legal practitioners who use the term have settled on certain common meanings for it. My purpose in this article is not to disrupt but to clarify these meanings by turning to literary theory and criticism that regularly address transnationality. Cultural and postcolonial studies are the particular strains of literary theory and criticism to which I will attend. To review “transnational law,” examining its literary inertia and significations, is the objective of this article, which does not purport to settle the matter …
Shakespeare's Place In Law-And-Literature, Allen P. Mendenhall
Shakespeare's Place In Law-And-Literature, Allen P. Mendenhall
Allen Mendenhall
Nearly every Anglo-American law school offers a course called Law-and-Literature. Nearly all of these courses assign one or more readings from Shakespeare’s oeuvre. Why study Shakespeare in law school? That is the question at the heart of these courses. Some law professors answer the question in terms of cultivating moral sensitivity, fine-tuning close-reading skills, or practicing interpretive strategies on literary rather than legal texts. Most of these professors insist on an illuminating nexus between two supposedly autonomous disciplines. The history of how Shakespeare became part of the legal canon is more complicated than these often defensive, syllabus-justifying declarations allow. This …
