About this listen

 Episode 2: The Open Curriculum Revolution explores how Brown University transformed itself in the twentieth century into one of the most progressive institutions in the Ivy League. Beginning with student protests of the late 1960s, the episode traces the demand for academic freedom that led to the creation of Brown’s groundbreaking Open Curriculum. It examines how eliminating distribution requirements reshaped campus culture, empowered students, and redefined the relationship between faculty and learners. The episode also covers Brown’s expansion, the integration of Pembroke College, and the university’s growing national reputation. Together, these changes cemented Brown’s identity as a hub of independence, activism, and intellectual experimentation.
