SUMMARY:2021 SPRING | The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Dole Fellow Patrick Tuohey\nRead more about Dole Fellows >> \nThis program is made possible through the generosity of Newman’s Own Foundation \n  \n  \nThe Shifts that Shape Our Cities\, Demographic Trends\n2/24/2021 \n \nPlease join us for our first Discussion Group of the semester\, “The Shifts that Shape Our Cities\, Demographic Trends.” This program is the first of our Spring Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.\nOur Spring Discussion Groups Fellow\, Patrick Tuohey\, welcomes Wendell Cox as his special guest for this week.

He earned a BA in Government from California State University\, Los Angeles\, and an MBA from Pepperdine University. \n  \nTrends in Municipal Growth and Finance\n3/3/2021 \n \nCities are the engines of state and national economies\, yet in many places\, taxes and public debt are at the highest levels they’ve ever been. Are the increased costs justified by the returns on public investment in the areas of public safety and infrastructure? \nPlease join us for the second installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill Professor Whitney Afonso\, and Kansas City-based architect Dennis Strait for a conversation on what finance and budgeting look like at the local level and how these fields have adapted with time. \n  \nSegregation\, Race\, and City Policy\n3/10/2021 \n \nBeginning in the 1920s\, state and federal policy aided and abetted the segregation of Americans through housing policies\, zoning ordinances\, economic development\, and urban revitalization. Although much of these aims have been discarded\, the policies are still with us. This discussion will identify which remnants are still with us and how cities can finally put them to rest. \n“Segregation\, Race\, and City Policy” will feature our special guests\, Edward J. Pinto and Mark Treskon. Edward J. Pinto is an American Enterprise Institute (AEI) resident fellow and director of AEI’s Housing Center. The Center monitors the US markets using a unique set of Housing Market Indicators.

Mark Treskon is a senior research associate in the Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center at the Urban Institute. His current projects include an evaluation of financial coaching programs and a study measuring the effects of arts-related initiatives on community development. Treskon has published peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on community-based planning\, home lending policy advocacy\, and the arts economy. \n  \nSubsidies in the City\n3/17/2021 \n \nThe competition among cities to woo Amazon’s new headquarters brought national attention to the use and abuse of economic development subsidies\, but the practice is not new. In fact\, the value of such subsidies is staggering and seems to show no signs of slowing. This discussion would help quantify the amount of subsidies\, how cities benefit\, and how public policy can be changed to improve outcomes for taxpayers. \nPlease join us for the fourth installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future. Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guests Heywood Sanders\, Professor of Public Administration at the University of Texas-San Antonio\, and Michael Lefaive\, Senior Director of the Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. \n  \nEffective Housing Policy\n3/24/2021 \n \nHousing policy is again capturing the national spotlight. Local policies have restricted the development of new housing stock and as a result\, in places like San Francisco and Seattle\, housing prices have skyrocketed. But even smaller cities like Kansas City have seen the impacts. What are the underlying causes of the phenomenon\, how great are the impacts\, and what policies can help alleviate the problem? \n“Effective Housing Policy” will feature our host Patrick Tuohey\, as well as special guests Emily Hamilton and Kirk McClure. Hamilton is a Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Urbanity Project at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University\, and McClure is a professor emeritus of urban planning in the University of Kansas School of Public Affairs and Administration. \n  \nOpportunities in the Gig Economy\n3/31/2021 \n \nTechnology companies such as Uber and Lyft have created opportunities for individuals to leverage their cars\, and their downtime\, to earn money on the side. Airbnb and Vrbo have done the same through short-term rentals. While these are some of the more familiar companies in the so-called gig economy\, they are by no means the only ones. What is the future of the gig economy\, and how should cities be reacting? \nPlease join us for the sixth installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guests Steve King\, Partner at Emergent Research\, and Arun Sundararajan\, Harold Price Professor of Entrepreneurship and Professor of Technology\, Operations and Statistics at New York University’s Stern School of Business. \n  \nPoverty in American Cities\n4/7/2021 \n \nCities large and small are facing some existential issues\, as we’ve covered over the past several weeks. Often they are saddled with outdated approaches or just simply bad habits. How can cities and towns learn from their mistakes and develop public policy in a way that is sustainable? \nPlease join us for the final installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guest Jesús Gerena\, CEO of Family Independence Initiative\, and Angela Rachidi\, Rowe Scholar in poverty studies at the American Enterprise Institute\, for a conversation on urban poverty and how to combat it.

SUMMARY:John Boyd and Air Power Theory
DESCRIPTION:Brash. Brilliant. Pompous. Ground-breaking. The list goes on but fails to capture the drive\, the talent\, the intellectual horsepower\, or the creativity of Colonel (R) John Boyd\, USAF. There are many scholars and Boyd fans who contend that Boyd is the greatest military theorist that you have never heard of\, but should have. Throughout his storied\, if tumultuous career\, Boyd developed a well-earned reputation for identifying problems of air combat\, aircraft design\, and military strategy and generating powerful solutions\, which usually challenged the system\, existing norms\, and business as usual\, but always advanced military theory and ideas. This presentation will explore John Boyd the person\, his intellectual processes\, and his ideas to better understand his contribution to strategy and warfighting. \nDuring the event\, submit your questions for Mr. Johnson to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis program is closed-captioned for the hearing impaired. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online.

SUMMARY:Historians on “Hamilton”: How a Blockbuster Musical Is Restaging America’s Past

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning musical has spawned sold-out performances\, a triple platinum cast album\, and a score so catchy that it is being used to teach U.S. history in classrooms across the country.
