Good luck!
As previously announced there will be no ordinary class on Friday Oct. 30, but there will be a seminar conducted by Alix.
On Wednesday Nov. 4 12.00 - 14.00 there will be seminar in the Fritt Ord House (Uranienborgveien 2) on "Chinese Media – Rapid marketization and political control" with lecture by Professor Colin Sparks, University of Westminster.
The Class on Friday Oct 23 will last from 10.15 till 14.00 i.e. four hours and will deal with
A History of Freedom of Expression. Literature: Winston. Zenco-Zencovich
and

The reason for the four is to compensate fro the class on Oct 16 that was cancelled.
NB. The class will be in Room 207
Alix will conduct the class on Friday Oct. 16, as I have to participate in a panel with the South African minister Trevor Manuel organised by NORAD. I will come back with information about how the missed class will compensated for.
