SUMMARY:Evolution of the Modern First Lady - How We Got from Lady Washington to Dr. Biden
DESCRIPTION:Since George Washington made it clear that Martha was his partner in the presidency by providing her with her own schedule of meetings and having her serve as hostess and surrogate\, first ladies have each defined the role as it best suited their backgrounds\, personalities\, the times\, and their husbands’ views of the role. Some duties\, however\, remain the same since Martha and contribute to the informal or “soft” power of the first lady. This program looks at the position from the perspective of two individuals who worked for first ladies and who study them. \nModerated by Diana Carlin\, featuring Michel LaRosa and Anita McBride.  \nAnita McBride currently serves as Executive-in-Residence at the School of Public Affairs at American University\, where she directs programming on the historical influence of America’s first ladies. She is a co-founder of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE) and has co-authored a forthcoming textbook on the legacies of U.S. first ladies. McBride’s public service spans more than 30 years during three presidential administrations\, culminating as Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush. She also serves on a number of boards and councils\, including the White House Historical Association; is the recipient of many awards and commendations; and is a frequent speaker\, print source contributor and news commentator on the operations and history of the White House and its occupants. \nMichael LaRosa served as Press Secretary to First Lady Jill Biden and Special Assistant to President Joseph R. Biden. Michael planned all media/press strategy and was the chief advocate for the needs of the traveling press corps on the First Lady’s historic surprise visit to a war zone in western Ukraine and her events at the NATO\, G-7\, and G-20 Summits and the Summit of the Americas. He traveled with the First Lady to over 75 cities\, 40 states\, and 18 countries. He is currently director at Penta (formerly Hamilton Place Strategies)\, where he provides strategic communications counsel to clients based on his over 15 years of experience working at the intersection of media\, government\, and politics. Michael is also an ABC News Political Contributor\, where he provides analysis of Congress\, campaigns\, elections\, and news of the day on ABC News platforms. \nDiana B. Carlin is professor emerita of communication at Saint Louis University and a retired professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas\, where she taught a course on women in politics that included first ladies. In fall 2022\, she taught courses on first ladies at Saint Louis University and American University. She has authored book chapters on Martha Washington\, Lady Bird Johnson\, Barbara Bush\, Hillary Clinton\, and Michelle Obama\, and she is currently writing one of Julia Grant. She is the co-author of the first textbook on first ladies\, U.S. First Ladies: Making History and Leaving Legacies due for publication later in 2023. She is a founding member of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE). \nThe Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is dedicated to promoting political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a bipartisan\, philosophically balanced manner. It is located on KU’s West Campus and houses the Dole Archive and Special Collections. Through its robust public programming\, congressional archive\, and museum\, the Dole Institute strives to celebrate public service and the legacies of US Senators Bob Dole and Elizabeth Dole. \nThe First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE) was founded on June 21\, 2021\, through a collaboration with American University’s School of Public Affairs and its First Ladies Institute. Its mission to create and sustain a network of promote and publicize research and education relevant to the contributions\, lives\, impacts\, and lasting legacies of U.S. first ladies. \nA booksale and signing will follow the program. \nThis program is presented in partnership with FLARE as well as KU’s Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies and Political Science departments.

SUMMARY:2023 | First Ladies as Presidential Partners
DESCRIPTION:Join moderator Diana Carlin for this year’s series\, which underscores the two-person nature of the presidency and the influence first ladies have on their husbands’ administrations\, women’s issues\, and U.S. culture. \nThe series is moderated by Diana Carlin\, professor emerita of communication at St. Louis University\, where she taught a course on women in politics that included first ladies\, and a retired professor of communication studies at KU.  She is a founding member of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE)\, the presenting partner of this series. \n  \n \nThis series is presented in partnership with the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE). \n  \n\n  \nEvolution of the Modern First Lady: How We Got from Lady Washington to Dr. Biden\nFebruary 1\, 2023 | Featuring Michel LaRosa and Anita McBride \nSince George Washington made it clear that Martha was his partner in the presidency by providing her with her own schedule of meetings and having her serve as hostess and surrogate\, first ladies have each defined the role as it best suited their backgrounds\, personalities\, the times\, and their husbands’ views of the role. Some duties\, however\, remain the same since Martha and contribute to the informal or “soft” power of the first lady. This program looks at the position from the perspective of two individuals who worked for first ladies and who study them. \n \n  \nFirst Ladies and Power: Influential First Ladies You Might Not Know Much About\nFebruary 9\, 2023 | Featuring Rebecca Roberts\, Katherine Sibley\, and Teri Finneman \nAnyone asked to list the top first ladies usually draws on their own experience studying or knowing about the women during their lifetimes. A few first ladies were far more powerful than history classes typically reveal. This program centers on three of those women: Sarah Polk\, Florence Harding\, and Edith Wilson and the power they wielded\, each in her own way. \n \n  \nFirst Ladies\, Women’s Rights and Suffrage\nMarch 9\, 2023 | Featuring Nancy Kegan Smith and Stacy Cordery \nAbigail Adams was famous for her letter to John urging him to “remember the ladies” as a new country and government were developed. John and most of his successors ignored that plea until the early 20th century. This program looks at the women who supported women’s rights\, those who could have supported but chose not to\, and those who did not see a need for women to have the vote or hold political office and why they approached the issue of women’s rights as they did. \n \n  \nFirst Ladies\, the ERA and Beyond\nMarch 23\, 2023 | Moderated by Director Audrey Coleman\, and featuring Bob Bostock and Diana Carlin \nWhile the ERA did not pass\, three first ladies—Pat Nixon\, Betty Ford\, and Rosalynn Carter all supported the amendment. These women also supported other women’s issues as did several of their successors. This program explores some of the little-known efforts of first ladies to move women’s rights forward. \n \n  \n10 Defining Moments in the History of the American First Lady\, 1900-2023\nOctober 19\, 2023 | Featuring Myra Gutin \nThe history of the American First Lady has seen a number of defining moments\, incidents or challenges that are distinctive and leave a clear impression of the presidential spouse. Included in this presentation are discussions of Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson (1936); Jacqueline Kennedy’s Tour of the White House (1962); Betty Ford and Breast Cancer (1974)\, Hillary Clinton’s decision to run for the U.S. Senate (1999) and Michelle Obama becoming the first African-American first lady (2008).

SUMMARY:Dr. Bill Nance: "Brittany to the Elbe: 9th Army's Invasion of Europe in World War II"
DESCRIPTION:“Brittany to the Elbe: 9th Army’s Invasion of Europe in World War II”\nDr. Bill Nance\nThursday\, February 2\, 2023 | 3 p.m. \nWhile the 1944-45 campaign to liberate France is well known in general detail\, many of the specifics are unclear. In this talk\, we will explore the liberation of Western Europe through the eyes of a lesser-known American Army that played a large\, but mostly unheralded\, role in this effort. From its activation in Brittany in September of 1944 to its final limit of advance on the Elbe River\, the US Ninth Army ground through some of the fiercest fighting of the war\, while establishing a reputation for not only good teamwork\, but doing things in a calm\, thoughtful manner. By the end of the war\, Omar Bradley would state that “unlike the noisy and bumptious Third\, or the temperamental First\, the Ninth Army remained uncommonly normal.” \nDr. William (Bill) Nance recently retired from the United States Army\, having served in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. He has taught history at the United States Military Academy and at the Command and General Staff College (CGSC).  He is currently serving as a civilian Associate Professor of History at CGSC. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers. The esteemed faculty and guests of the CGSC provide unique and captivating insights into the history of military conflict from the ancient to the modern ages at the Dole Institute of Politics. \nThe Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is dedicated to promoting political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a bipartisan\, philosophically balanced manner. It is located on KU’s West Campus and houses the Dole Archive and Special Collections. Through its robust public programming\, congressional archive\, and museum\, the Dole Institute strives to celebrate public service and the legacies of US Senators Bob Dole and Elizabeth Dole.
