3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

COSC538: Internet Censorship and Circumvention This class explores the current landscape of Internet censorship--both home and abroad--with a focus on the technologies and practices used by censors and those that seek to evade them. We survey the literature on censorship circumvention technologies, and explore their efficacy and practicality in the face of real-world censors. Students will complete a semester-long project with the goal of bettering our understanding of a censorship or circumvention technology.
