Internet, satellite, advanced multi-channel cable television all present extraordinary questions of law, policy, and cultural change. The increasing globalization of the media and telecommunications industry has created enormous pressures on existing legal systems and will be a central feature of the course. Rapid changes in technology also present intriguing issues for scholarly and judicial debate, making this area particularly well suited to introduce students to ways of thinking about and analyzing case law, statutes, and law review articles in the area of new communications. The courses deal with comparative regulatory responses, regulation of hate speech, industry and government efforts to manage the Internet, child protection and censorship, HDTV development, international standards, privatization and deregulation of public broadcasting entities, and developments under the European Unions Television Without Frontiers Directive. In the past, participants have included students from Hungary, Hong Kong, Romania, Tajikistan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Mexico, and Serbia as well as law students from the United States. In 2002, faculty will include Monroe Price of Cardozo School of Law; Bernd Holznagel of the Institute for Information, Telecommunications, and Media Law at Münster University, Germany; and Peter Krug, Professor of Law at Oklahoma University School of Law. Visiting professors from UK law firms, the Dutch Institute for Information Law (IViR), the Free University of Brussels, Ghent University, Belgium, the Moscow Media Law and Policy Center, and the PCMLP will also join the class throughout the two weeks. <>-<>-<> The procedure for regulating the media market that I studied at the Programme in Comparative Media Studies in Oxford, made me take a more technical approach to analyzing the regulatory framework of this industry. The information I collected in Oxford will constitute solid teaching material for my 1st year Media Regulation students at Banat University in Timisoara, Romania. --Eliza Pop, 2001, Summer School <>-<>-<> HOUSING The summer program will be conducted in Wadham College, which is situated in 6 acres of beautiful grounds in the centre of Oxford, within a few yards of the Bodleian Library, the University science departments and the Sheldonian Theatre.
