2024-01-0244 minDefending IdeasFamily relationships are an antidote to America's loneliness epidemicPublic discussions of "the good life" usually center on things like a quality job, decent pay and other benefits that are primarily material. But what if – as a society – we're missing the things that truly impact happiness and human flourishing? Even when we discuss what's been described as America's "loneliness epidemic," too often the importance of human connection and strong families get left out. Guest Dr. Jenet Erickson joins host Nic Dunn to show why human connection through meaningful relationships – like those within a family unit – are generally much more important for a flourishing life than the things that usu...

2023-12-1247 minDefending IdeasHow family policy debates sometimes ignore the family itselfDebates about family policy often focus on an array of programs or interventions like licensed child care, pre-K or the K-12 education system. But all too often, the family itself as an optimal environment for the healthy development of young children – and a fundamental institution of civil society – gets left out of the discussion.This week’s guest explains why we need to elevate the family as “essential infrastructure” for children and society. She also argues for better inclusion of the evidence showing which environments are truly optimal for early childhood development. Dr. Katharine Stevens is the founde...

2023-11-2146 minDefending IdeasShould government promote marriage?Marriage is often viewed as a personal matter that isn't usually included in public policy discussions. But a growing body of evidence shows that strong families, anchored by healthy marriages, are among the biggest drivers of upward mobility and long-term success for the next generation. This prompts the question: does government have a role in promoting – or even trying to strengthen – marriage? On this week’s episode, Nic Dunn is joined by three different guests who are leading and executing marriage and family initiatives here in Utah: Brian Higginbotham, Associate Vice President, USU ExtensionAlan Hawkins, Manager, Utah Marria...
