So to Speak podcast: What happened to American childhood? with Kate Julian and Greg Lukianoff
On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we are joined by senior editor at The Atlantic and FIREPresident and CEO Greg Lukianoff to discuss rising rates of childhood depression, anxiety, and suicide.
How might these trends be connected to the way we parent our kids — and what do they mean for our wider society and for campus free speech?
Kate is the author of the 2020 Atlantic cover story, “,” and this conversation is part of Greg’s “Catching up with Coddling” blog series, in which he reviews recent developments related to the themes of his co-authored 2018 book “The Coddling of the American Mind.”
