The Core Curriculum - Episode 5 - Interview with Pieter Dhondt

This podcast is trying to give voice to thoughts that might have occurred to you since the pandemic or longer: what are the universities core tasks indeed? 

It’s an outgrowth of the ‘core tasks debate’ at Ghent University, in which the urgency of coming to a feasible budget kneecapped the opportunity to take time to come to terms with that question. The medium of a podcast provides an opportunity to create this much needed time for discussion. The aim of the podcast is to alternate interviews with random UGent’ers from all stripes and colors with interviews with critical friends.
