Panelists examined the efficacy of efforts to advance open inquiry within their local campus contexts. What problem were they looking to solve? What steps were needed to develop and implement a solution? What aspects of campus culture supported versus impeded change? This “heterodoxy in hindsight” conversation offers a retrospective understanding of what worked and why and highlights on-campus successes, strains, and stories to inspire.
