SUMMARY:Voices from the Big First\, 1961-1968
DESCRIPTION:In 1961\, Kansas\, with the rest of the United States\, found itself at a political\, social\, and cultural crossroads. Featuring a selection of constituent letters written to then-Congressman Bob Dole from the collections of the Dole Archives\, this original exhibit curated by Kansas history scholar Virgil Dean offers a window into the hopes and fears of everyday Kansans as they responded to change at home and conflict abroad. \nThis exhibit and associated programs examine where Kansas has been and where it’s going to complement Humanities Kansas initiative: Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a partnership between Humanities Kansas and the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street program. Funding for the exhibit and related programs was provided by Humanities Kansas

SUMMARY:Jean-Arthur Régibeau
DESCRIPTION:The Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas has announced that the guest for the 2021 Dole Lecture will be the Ambassador of Belgium to the United States Jean-Arthur Régibeau. This year’s lecture will take place on Wednesday\, May 5 at 7 p.m. on the institute’s YouTube channel. \n“Ambassador Régibeau is only the second seated ambassador to be a guest at the institute\,” Dole Institute Director Bill Lacy said. “As the world begins to emerge from the COVID pandemic\, he will bring a unique perspective on what lies ahead for U.S. and European relations.” \nRégibeau presented his credentials to the U.S. in Washington\, D.C. on September 17\, 2020\, and took up his duties as Ambassador. He entered the office as major transitions dominated the global political and economic landscape including the presidential administration change in the U.S. and the worldwide vaccination effort to end the pandemic. He will discuss these massive changes\, focusing on Belgium\, the European Union\, and what role the U.S. will play. \nRégibeau joined the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1998. He was the diplomatic advisor to the Minister of Defense from 1999 to 2002 and he went on to be First Secretary at the Belgian Embassy in Berlin. From 2003 to 2007\, Régibeau returned to Brussels as Head of the Private Office of the Minister of Defense. In 2007\, he was appointed Director General in charge of Multilateral Organizations at the Foreign Ministry. In this capacity\, he managed some aspects of the Belgian presidency of the EU in 2010. From 2012 to 2016\, he also was Deputy Commissioner for the commemoration of World War I. In 2016\, he became Ambassador to the Russian Federation\, Armenia\, Belarus\, and Uzbekistan. \n

SUMMARY:Donn Starry\, Active Defense\, and Airland Battle
DESCRIPTION:After the Vietnam War\, the US Army refocused itself on its primary peacetime mission since the end of the Second World War: the defense of NATO. However\, the Army leadership had to face the reality that the US Army was not capable of accomplishing this mission. In 1973\, the US Army did not have the trained personnel\, the technology\, or the fighting doctrine to defeat the Warsaw Pact forces led by the Soviet Union\, should those forces decide to invade the West. Over the next fifteen years that situation changed dramatically as the US Army and its NATO allies rebuild their capabilities first to counter a Soviet-led invasion of the West\, and by the end of the Cold War\, defeat the Warsaw Pact. Central to this rebirth of capability was the US Army warfighting doctrine of “Airland Battle.” General Donn Starry was at the center of the intellectual effort that created the Airland Battle doctrine\, and the training programs and technology that enabled it. The effectiveness of the Army’s efforts was a major contributor to the end of the Cold War\, and the great allied victory in Operation Desert Storm that followed immediately afterward. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. Louis DiMarco to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \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. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming. \n
