SST 295-03 - Special Topic: Balancing Privacy and National Security and the Role of the Press

1 credits (Fall)

We’ll wrestle with some hard issues confronting our country: Balancing privacy and national security–the role of the press–and the burgeoning social media. What are the limits? Who says? Analyzing the rule of law. Taught by four lawyers, two of whom are experienced press professionals, we’ll also discuss–we hope demonstrate–those professions’ essential skills. Plus at least one great movie and a chance to be in a relevant play! An intellectual adventure!

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Dates: September 29 to October 17. Short course deadlines apply.
Instructor: Nixon
