Hub Dialogues: Jean Twenge on the clash of generations
On this Hub Dialogue, we are joined by author and psychologist Jean Twenge, often referred to as the "reigning expert on generational change." Jean explains how evolving technology, more so than major historical events like the great recession of 2008 or the terrorist attacks of September 11th, has had a greater impact on how younger generations interact with older peers, why they are suffering from higher rates of depression and anxiety, and what kind of change - political and cultural - they want to see in the future. The Hub Dialogues features The Hub's editor-at-large, Sean Speer, in conversation with leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, and thinkers on the issues and challenges that will shape Canada's future at home and abroad.
