Robert P. George on Rediscovering Marriage Reality

About the Lecture

There is a crisis of masculinity in the Western world which especially affects young men. Often young men are confused about their role in society, including professional vocation, marriage, gender roles, and mental health. This is clearly the case in a cosmopolitan city like New York where many young men come to find their professional vocation and place in the world. There is a pressing need to rediscover their societal role grounded in an authentic view of masculinity and the human person. The Annual Schuyler Hall Lecture on Young Men and Society aims to invite leading public intellectuals to discuss the role of young men in society, inspiring them with ideas about how they can best serve society.
