Global censorship: shifting modes, persisting paradigms

In 2014, while on a fellowship with the Yale Law School’s Information Society Project, I was the lead editor for the book Global censorship: shifting modes, persisting paradigms, which was brought out by the A2K Global Academy (Information Society Project, Yale Law School; Access to Knowledge for Development Centre, American University, Cairo; and Instituto de Technologia & Sociedade do Rio).

That book followed from ‘Global Censorship’ conference at Yale in 2012, and was published as the 2nd installment of the Access to Knowledge Research Series. It had contributions from:
