The Interview: Dr. Scott Yenor on The Recovery of Family Life

In this ongoing series, Ryan Williams, President of The Claremont Institute, interviews prominent scholars in the Claremont Institute’s orbit. Dr. Scott Yenor, Professor of Political Science at Boise State University and Washington Fellow at The Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life, joins Ryan to discuss his recent book, The Recovery of Family Life. The book traces the intellectual and political roots of our current family crisis and presents a series of practical approaches to revitalizing and restoring the American family. Ryan and Dr. Yenor discuss existing family policy (or lack thereof), and what can be done to improve it.

Om Podcasten

The American Mind Podcast uncovers the ideas and principles that drive American political life. In each episode, we engage Claremont Institute scholars, co-conspirators, and critics in thought-provoking discussions about the real causes of our current political and cultural reality. We explore these ideas with an eye towards restoring American civic health. The Roundtable is a weekly show, hosted by our editors and publisher with a unique blend of joviality and intellectually stimulating conversation, boosted by an occasional glass of whisky. Each episode focuses on a handful of topics that carry significant weight in the debate of ideas for the best path of American life, both privately and civically. Of course, we do reserve some time for fun in each show. Occasionally, we produce special podcast features on individual topics with commentary from the top thinkers in America today.
