SI 550: Seminar in Information Policy: Regulation and Politics

This seminar will attempt to understand current United States Government Policy in areas involved with information and information technology. Each student will select an area of policy of specific interest to him or her. If the student has no specific interest a topic will be selected in consultation between the student and the instructor. Policies are forming and changing daily. In order to keep up with these changes the class will include guest lecturers who are studying or actually creating policies in the information area. The first part of the course will aid the student in selecting and defining a topic. The second part of the course will involve the presentation and discussion of the topic. As an advanced graduate course there is an expectation that the final paper will be, with suitable editing, publishable in a journal.

Several guest lecturers will be invited to address the seminar.

Course Requirements: One- to two-hour oral presentation and discussion of research topic.
Credits: 3

Term offered: Winter
