Free Recordings of John Senior and Dennis Quinn

YouTube Sources for IHP Recordings

There are two YouTube channels that have previously or are currently releasing recordings of John Senior, Dennis Quinn, and (potentially) Frank Nelick, the three professors of the groundbreaking Integrated Humanities Program at the University of Kansas in the 1970’s. You can read more about the IHP here.

These recordings are absolute gold. They’re a rare glimpse into the distinctive and transforming teaching style of these great professors who have profoundly impacted so many lives. I can’t recommend these talks highly enough. I am so grateful to both of these channels for resurrecting these old recordings that are full of wit, wisdom, and wonder that our world desperately needs.

This channel’s owner is in the process of enhancing the audio on many old recordings, which originally had poor audio quality. The channel will continue to expand (as I understand it).

This channel is not adding new lectures, but there are already many many hours of recordings in “Humanities” playlist. Though recorded long after the end of the IHP, the lectures generally follow the sequence of the original IHP curriculum. The only downside is that the audio quality has not been enhanced on these, so some of them are a bit hard to understand.
