World renowned activist and author Dr. Warren Farrell is one of our keynote speakers at this year’s Summer Training Institute.  Co-author of the bestselling The Boy Crisis, Dr. Farrell has traveled the world to excite communities working on gender issues facing boys, girls, and women and men.   Today’s blog features him and his keynote.

Please join us for our event on June 24-25.  Because the Summer Training is occurring virtually, the recordings will be available for three weeks, giving you and your teams ample time to hear Dr. Farrell, Dr. Gurian, and many others.  If you cannot come on the two days of the live-zoom event, you can still hear everything.  The website is:  https://gurianinstitute.com/events/gurian-summer-institute-2023/.  Now here’s more about Dr. Farrell and his keynote.

Dr. Warren Farrell, Second Morning Keynote, June 25, The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It

Why are boys falling behind girls in every academic subject in all 53 of the largest developed nations? Why are boys’ IQs dropping, and their sperm counts declining by 60%? Why are boys committing suicide at more than four times the rate of girls? What are the vast implications of female college graduates soon outnumbering males by a ratio of two-to-one?

The boy crisis in education is integrated with mental health, physical health, boys’ economic future and their role as future fathers. Dr. Warren Farrell’s keynote will explore what educators and parents can do to keep boys focused on healthy development and education rather than on a future that seems increasingly to want to exclude them.

The New York Times bestselling author Dr. Warren Farrell is one of America’s most sought-after speakers.  Fifty years ago, he was the only man to be elected three times to the Board of the National Organization of Women in New York City.  Now, he chairs the Coalition to Create a White House Council on Boys and Men. He is also the father of two daughters and an advocate for women and girls.

The Boy Crisis has catalyzed international debate on boys’ issues that resulted in concrete legislation to increase father involvement.  If you can get it before the event, please do.  It is a very important read.

Dr. Farrell’s presentation will be followed by questions and answers.  At Dr. Farrell’s request, Michael Gurian will join Dr. Farrell in this final portion of the presentation to facilitate questions and to interact on topics essential to helping boys in schools and communities.
