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:CANCELED: Dr. Martin Clemis: "Invasion and Counter invasion: Vietnam\, 1976-1979"
DESCRIPTION:The Ft. Leavenworth program scheduled for July 6th has been cancelled. We hope you join us for the next program in the series “The Three Invasions of Serbia in 1914” on Thursday\, August 3 at 3 p.m. \nOn December 25\, 1978\, soldiers from the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) crossed into Cambodia as part of a punitive expedition against the Khmer Rouge. Three months later\, in response to this incursion\, the People’s Republic of China sent combat troops into Vietnam’s northern provinces. The Vietnamese invasion of Democratic Kampuchea and Chinese counter-invasion of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam marked the beginning of the Third Indochina War\, an unforeseen and unprecedented conflict that pitted three regional communist powers against one another in the pursuit of ethnonationalist objectives. This lecture will examine the origins\, conduct\, and outcome of these military invasions\, and discuss their historical implications on the global Cold War.   \nMartin G. Clemis is an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the Command and General Staff College. He is the author of The Control War: The Struggle for South Vietnam\, 1968-1975 (University of Oklahoma Press\, 2018)\, and a contributing author in Beyond the Quagmire: New Interpretations of the Vietnam Conflict (University of North Texas Press\, 2019)\, Drawdowns: The American Way of Postwar (New York University Press\, 2017)\, and War and Geography: The Spatiality of Organized Mass Violence (Ferdinand Schoningh\, 2017). Martin has had articles published in Army History and Small Wars and Insurgencies. \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.
