Dr. Woodstock This course examines the theoretical and historical underpinnings of how we think about freedom of expression and its importance to societies organized around the idea of democracy. The course will contrast two intellectual approaches to the role of expression in Western society: the classical liberal and the romantic. We will explore the historical development of these ideas, analyze how they were applied in landmark cases, as well as challenge ourselves to apply these systems of logic to contemporary speech controversies. We will conclude by considering how new media technologies are shaped and challenged by the underpinnings of free expression. Three hours per week. Four semester hours. (H.)
