Hacking Digital Ethics
David J. Krieger, Andréa Belliger
This book is not a critique of digital ethics but rather a hack. It develops an exploit kit on the basis of state-of-the-art social theory and uses it to breach the insecure legacy system upon which the discourse of digital ethics is running. It exposes the bugs, the sloppy programming, and the false promises of current digital ethics, and, because it is an ethical hack, it redesigns digital ethics so that it can address the problems of the global network society.

Classroom 15
How the Hoover FBI Censored the Dreams of Innocent Oregon Fourth Graders
Edited by Peter Laufer
foreword by Ann CurryA result of an investigative report by tenacious University of Oregon journalism students, Classroom 15 tells the story of how the dreams of fourth-grade students at the Riverside School, Roseburg, in rural Oregon timber country, were crushed by the prevailing Red Scare, McCarthyism, state and societal censorship, and J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The book is a remarkable example of experiential learning techniques and successes and is a prime tool to teach by specific example the pragmatic processes of student-conceptualized research, employment of the FOIA, and shoe-leather journalism.
