Teaching Challenge:

To engage students with the subject of law and mind science on many levels and a variety of teaching techniques. Professor Hanson envisioned a seminar in which each student would blog multiple times about mind science issues as they relate to law, as well as create original video of an hour-long interview of a mind science scholar.
