Notes from a presentation on surveillance
Nicholas Zufelt, 9/11s Colloquium
November 10, 2021
I recently gave a presentation to a class at Andover called "9/11s", focusing on the events and aftermath of September 11, 2001. I chose to speak about the impact that the passing of the Patriot Act had on public perception of survelliance practices. In this repository, I place my slides and some of the most useful resources I used in preparation for this presentation.
