Sister Courses

Internet & Society 2002 has two sister courses:

LSTU E-120: Internet & Society 2002 at the Harvard Extension School
John Palfrey and Rebecca Nesson (former Internet & Society teaching fellows and students) are teaching a similar version of Internet & Society 2002 at the Harvard Extension School this spring. Their class will be participating jointly in the rotisserie with Internet & Society and hopefully will have one joint meeting during the course of the semester.

MIT 6.805/6.806/STS085: Ethics and Law on the Electronic Frontier (3-0-9)
Hal Abelson teaches a related course to MIT undergraduate students. His course meets twice a week, and on Mondays will be meeting at Harvard Law School in conjunction with Internet & Society 2002. The MIT students will also participate in some or all of the rotisseries.

Videotapes of lectures with slides will be available here shortly after each weekly lecture.
