This course focuses on an interdisciplinary socio-legal study of the interactions of English law and various ethnic minorities who tend to import their own cultures on their own terms. Initial conceptual and theoretical sessions on migration history, assimilation/integration, legal pluralism, ethnicity and race relations theory provide detailed foundations for deeper analysis of all topics studied in the course.
In the family law part of the course we briefly analyse, through case studies, how core elements of domestic family law struggle with the diverse presence of ethnic minority communities following various unofficial concepts of managing family relations.
Intercultural conflicts concerning marriage, divorce, nullity and financial arrangements are covered. In the public law part of the course we examine a range of public law issues, focusing on race relations/equality law and employment, but also race and crime, racial harassment, education law, blasphemy, and some aspects of immigration law.
