Glenn Loury’s Journey From Chicago’s South Side to The Ivy League And Beyond

In this interview, Professor Glenn Loury discusses his time as a professor at Harvard and Brown University. He also explains his radical (for an academic institution, at least) reading list and syllabus for the courses he teaches at Brown and how an undergraduate student/teaching assistant inspired Professor Loury to create a course intended to liberate his students from the “groupthink” that is far too prevalent at most universities.
