SUMMARY:Majoring in Fear: The Decline of the Humanities among College Students Facing an Uncertain Future
DESCRIPTION:a luncheon discussion with\nMark Shiffman (Villanova University) \nREGISTER HERE \nMore than a decade ago\, David Brooks coined “organization kids” to describe a generation of America’s elite university students driven from early childhood toward a nearly certain goal: success. Today\, these students are not as confident that success is inevitable. They are often beleaguered by the fear that all of their effort and achievement won’t be enough. This anxiety has led to a steady decline in humanities majors across the country. In this discussion\, Prof. Shiffman will make a case for the humanities as an antidote to this anxiety and will discuss the importance of asking life’s fundamental questions in a University education. \nStudents are encouraged to read Prof. Shiffman’s short piece from First Things as a preface to the discussion. Lunch will be provided. \nSCHEDULE:\n1:00pm   Lunch\n1:20pm   Remarks by Prof. Shiffman\n1:40pm   Discussion\n2:30pm   Adjourn \nThis event is open to all university students.\nOthers interested in attending\, please contact info@lumenchristi.org.
