Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What happened to the American family?
Q: How do you see your research affecting public policy once the evidence is gathered?
Policymakers show interest at federal, state, and local levels; the key challenge is bringing the evidence up to speed so it can be disseminated and used to shape programs and policies that support families.
What happened to the American family?
Q: Why is Notre Dame uniquely suited to lead this work?
Because Notre Dame is a leading research university committed to rigorous inquiry, willing to have difficult conversations, and aligned with a mission to pursue truth and human flourishing, which creates a conducive environment for interdisciplinary work on family dynamics and policy impact.
What happened to the American family?
Q: Melissa, you're the director of the Strengthening Families Initiative. Tell us what that is, and why is it so important that that's being activated right now?
The initiative is a research-based, interdisciplinary effort housed in the economics department, aimed at building an evidence base about the drivers of declines in marriage and two-parent families, and identifying government programs and policies that help strengthen families to close class gaps in opportunities and well-being.
How do you measure success?
Q: What makes a good goal, and how do you ensure you're pushing yourself without losing balance?
A good goal should foster growth in important life areas, include manageable milestones, and avoid neglecting core values, relationships, and spiritual life.
How do you measure success?
Q: So tell me your approach or how you talk to your students about success?
The guest describes defining goals that stretch you but remain doable, building an audience for accountability, and ensuring goals promote growth without causing undue stress or compromising values.
