Tomorrow I teach my first class at the University of Southern California as the US-Canada Fulbright Chair at Annenberg Center on Public Diplomacy: "Set-Top Cop — Hollywood's Secret War on Your Living Room." It's a grad seminar open to grad students at USC, and undergrads by arrangement with me. Unfortunately, it's not possible to invite the general public to the small seminar class, but I will be hosting a variety of guest speakers this year who will be giving public talks at USC on Tuesday evenings. USC students have until Sept 9 to late-add this class. We'll also have a public research blog. The class meets Tuesday from noon-2:30. A lot of USC students have written to me about this class and I promised them I'd blog it once the details were finalized — here they are!
Cory's USC class on DRM starts tomorrow
