About

I’m Allan Hopson, formerly a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Politics and History at Hillsdale College, where I shared my insights until my retirement in 2013. Currently, I am the John A. Howard Distinguished Fellow for Family and Religious Studies at the International Organization for the Family, and I serve as the Editor of The Natural Family:

An International Journal of Research and Policy. Over the years, I’ve also been a Senior Editor at Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity and spent twenty-two years as Editor of the Marriage and Family Studies Series for Transaction Books, a respected publisher in international social science.

I earned my Ph.D. in Modern European History from The Ohio University. My doctoral work, which focused on Sweden’s interwar population crisis, was published as “The Swedish Experiment in Family Politics: The Myrdals and the Interwar Population Crisis.” I’ve authored fifteen other books, including “From Cottage to Work Station:

The Family’s Search for Social Harmony in the Industrial Age” and “The New Agrarian Mind: The Movement Toward Decentralist Thought in 20th Century America.” Additionally, I’ve contributed to over 50 volumes on family life, education, agrarian theory, and more.
