Matthew Mehan – On Reviving Education That Teaches Us How To Be Free

Dr. Matthew Mehan is the Director of Academic Programs for Washington D.C., and Assistant Professor of Government for the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College. He has been teaching and designing humanities curricula for twenty years, and has published not only academic and popular articles, but also two children’s books that prepare children to understand the intellectual heritage of the West.

Matt and Inez discuss how children’s literature can rise above the ugliness and confusion of much of the genre, as well as how an embarrassing version of childishness has spread to young (and not-so-young) adults. They also continue last week’s conversation with Paul Rossi about the promising trajectory of schools like Hillsdale that offer a real liberal arts education — that is, an education that helps us to be truly free.
