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:The Six Secret Teachings of Jiang Ziya
DESCRIPTION:The Six Secret Teachings of Jiang Ziya (Ta’i Kung) is the oldest of China’s Seven Military Classics. This foundational work from the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BCE) period purports to have originated more than five centuries before Sun Tzu (544-496 BCE). The six teachings are a record of conversations between Jiang and the future Zhou Kings Wen and Wu on defeating the Shang Dynasty. This book on civil-military relations\, organizing\, manning\, and fighting forces\, is attributed to Jiang Ziya\, who is purported to be China’s first general officer and strategist. This presentation explores the key themes and military advice offered in the six books\, with comparisons to Sun Tzu and suggestions on how this work might influence a modern Chinese Way of War. \nDr. Geoff Babb was commissioned from Bowdoin College in Brunswick\, Maine in 1973 as a US Army Military Intelligence Officer. After serving in the Defense Intelligence Agency as a ground forces analyst\, he was assigned to Monterey\, California\, Hong Kong\, and Beijing for language and area studies. He was then assigned to Joint and Army Headquarters in Hawaii. In 1991\, he joined the Command and General Staff College faculty at Fort Leavenworth. After retiring from the military\, he earned a Masters in East Asian Languages and Cultures\, and a Doctorate in History from the University of Kansas. He has published numerous book chapters and articles on China and Asia. He currently serves as a professor in the Department of Military History as its China hand. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. Babb 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.

SUMMARY:President Juan Manuel Santos
DESCRIPTION:The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas will live-stream a special event featuring former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos on Thursday\, June 10 at 7 p.m. CDT on the institute’s YouTube channel.\n“We are excited to welcome President Santos back to the institute\,” said Director Bill Lacy. “He will be discussing his new book about his work on ending the Colombian Civil War. His efforts to end the 50-year-long conflict led to him winning the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.” \nIn his book The Battle for Peace\, Santos shares the lessons he learned about war and peace and how to build a successful negotiation process in the midst of a conflict where a resolution seemed impossible. While Santos is clear that there is no handbook for making peace\, he offers conflict-tested guidance on the critical parameters\, conditions\, and principles as well as rich detail on the innovations that made it possible for his nation to find common ground and a just solution. \nCopies of Santos’ book are available for purchase through the University Press of Kansas: https://kansaspress.ku.edu/978-0-7006-3066-0.html \nJuan Manuel Santos was president of Colombia from 2010 to 2018 and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016. Prior to becoming president\, Santos had a long career of public service in Colombia\, including as minister of foreign trade\, minister of finance and public credit\, and minister of national defense. Santos prepared for these roles by attending the University of Kansas\, through postgraduate studies at the London School of Economics and Harvard University\, as a Fulbright Fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy\, and in the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. He is founder and chairman of the board of Compaz Center of Resources for Peace\, which works for the empowerment of victims\, the consolidation of peace\, the reduction of poverty and inequality\, and the defense of the environment in Colombia and the planet. \nThis special program will only be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming. \nThe KU Alumni Association features Santos on its current cover of Kansas Alumni\, its quarterly magazine\, and highlights an excerpt from his book. The magazine is available at kansasalumnimagazine.org. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the University Press of Kansas and the KU Alumni Association.
