## Resource

The great Dr. Matt Post rejoins the Old School podcast to discuss the research that he and Dr. Bourgeois are conducting on the notion of character and virtue among undergraduates. This study seeks to identify what these students do or don't do that can be identified as virtuous but also why. Mr. Miller seeks to tease out what these two learned scholars have done over the last five years and what they hope to achieve when the research project comes to an end. This is a fascinating discussion, with one of our favorite people, about issues that can have implications how how we teach, how we parent and how we interact and relate to one another.
