What Are Children For? Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman in Conversation with Tara Isabella Burton

Join authors of What Are Children For?  (and editors at The Point) Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman and novelist/theologian Tara Isabella Burton for a conversation about parenthood, purpose, and the possibility of embracing a human future. What does the future of parenthood look like – and how do we make sense of its sacrifices in the modern world? 

What does it look like to bring children into an uncertain world? Is parenthood a part of the fundamental human experience – or a luxury status? How have attitudes towards child-rearing – particularly for women – changed in liberal modernity, and how do we reconcile these attitudes with wider questions of what it means to be, and create, another human being?
