Using the web to think about free expression

This blog has been created to encourage student engagement and interaction on topics related to the Fall 2008 edition of History and Philosophy of Free Expression, a communication class taught by me, Prof. John Coward.

The idea is simple: I will be posting comments, quotations, and other statements on this site and students will be strongly encouraged (that is, required) to add their own comments and ideas about these posts. If we all work at it, we will create an on-going dialogue of ideas, facts, proposals, criticisms, counter-proposals, and other arguments about the history of free expression and the ideas that link free expression to the democratic experience in the United States.

So watch this space. More ideas coming soon.
