Description
This week’s guest is Richard Reeves, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and president of the American Institute for Boys and Men. In 2022, Richard published Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What To Do About It. The insights from that book have sparked an important national dialogue, and Richard came to the University of Montana in November to discuss them further.
In this conversation, Richard talks about his upbringing in the United Kingdom, and how his experiences there shaped his views around class and gender. He discusses research that demonstrates how traditional educational programs worked better for women than for men, and how much of an impact the covid-19 pandemic had on men - an impact that Richard says was largely ignored by various media.
