Hi Everyone, I attache two relevant syllabuses that I taught in the information school at UW about Internet & Society: INSC555 – Information and Values - A PhD course, with Master level as well. Discusses topics like: patterns of behavior, participation, deliberation, transparency, network publics, control and privacy in context of the Internet… IMT555 – Policy, Law and Ethics of Information Management – a master level course that discusses: ethics, regulation, digital divides, privacy, information contorl and free speech in context of the Internet.
