Welcome to the 3rd semester of ‘the core curriculum’, a podcast in which we explore the core tasks that we ascribe to the often age old institutions called ‘universities’. After having talked at length about education and research, the 2 traditional pilars in the mission statement of universities:, in this semester, we zoom out and shift the focus to the institutional context around these core tasks. 
This episode is episode 1 of this semester, and in it, I’m interviewing Bram Van Oostveldt. He is a professor in Theater Studies and a colleague housed in the same building as the group that I’m a part of. As plans to completely remodel our building are being drawn up, we talk about imbedding our work in the cultural scene of the city, and how deliberately abandoning the walled campus model creates opportunities for both research and education. 
As always, thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy this episode! Stay tuned for the next one, which will be an interview with Michael Michiels, a team management coach and alumnus of the International Institute of Restorative Practices Graduate School in PennSylvania.
