1 - The Magaziner-Maxwell Report:
the seed of a curricular revolution at Brown
Author: Ira Magaziner & Elliot Maxwell
Publisher: Open Jar Foundation; Pub. Date: October 2011 (Reprint); Paperback
Subject: Education; Brown University
"During the '66–'67 school year, a group of students and faculty members at Brown University came together in hopes of improving education at Brown. The group — which came to be known as GISP (Group Independent Studies Project) — undertook an extensive study of undergraduate education, its history, and the latest ideas for making it better. The end result was a 400-page tome authored primarily by students Ira Magaziner and Elliot Maxwell, originally called Draft of a Working Paper for Education at Brown. In addition to an impressively thorough summary of the GISP's research, the report proposes a philosophy of education for Brown and a new curriculum to implement that philosophy. In 1969, following student demonstrations and intensive self-study, the faculty at Brown adopted the New Curriculum, implementing the philosophy and many of the specific recommendations made in the report. With some tweaks, the New Curriculum remains in force at Brown to this day.
The Magaziner-Maxwell Report stands as an example of student-driven curricular reform done right. Unfortunately, it has never seen the wide dissemination it deserves. We hope to breathe new life into the report by publishing a new edition, in print and online. This new edition will serve as a resource for students at Brown (and other institutions with open curricula) interested in putting their educational experience into context; for students and administrators considering curricular reform at other institutions; and for curricular freedom skeptics who would like better understand the arguments for curricular reform.”—Open Jar Foundation
