Further, depending on the instructor’s annual choices, the course either delves into conceptual and theoretical reflections on the acquired centrality of anti-discrimination law in contemporary polities or choses to proceed to an in-depth examination of one particular issue of ADL (among many possibilities: religious discrimination in Europe; race discrimination in the USA; age discrimination in EU law...)
