SUMMARY:2020 | Presidential Speeches and Rhetoric
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Presidential Lecture Series\, created and developed by award-winning presidential rhetoric scholar Dr. Robert Rowland\, focuses on presidential speeches and rhetoric\, from the greatest speeches\, to the process of speechwriting\, to changes in presidential rhetoric in the age of social media. Join us for this compelling journey through the words that defined presidencies. \nRobert Rowland’s major teaching and research interests are in rhetorical criticism\, argumentation\, and the public sphere. Dr. Rowland and his debate colleague were the 1976 National Debate Champions for KU. He is a former director of forensics at KU and at Baylor University. Dr. Rowland received the Louise Byrd Award for Graduate Teaching in May 2000. He also is a recipient of the William T.

He also has received an Outstanding Service Award from the Kansas Bar Association based on his work in Continuing Legal Education on legal advocacy. In November 2006\, he was honored by the National Communication Association with the Donald H. Ecroyd Award for Outstanding Teaching in Higher Education. The same organization honored him in 2011 with the Douglas W. Ehninger Rhetorical Scholar Award.

His co-authored book with David Frank\, Shared Land/Conflicting Identity in 2002 was honored in 2003 with the Kohrs-Campbell prize in rhetorical criticism. A recent survey of journals ranked him among the fifty most published scholars in the discipline. \nThis series is co-sponsored by the University of Kansas Department of Communication Studies\, the Department of History\, and the Department of Political Science. \n  \nFive Great Presidential Speeches\n2/6/2020 \n \n“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” \n“Ich bin ein Berliner.” \n“Government of the people\, by the people\, for the people.” \nWhat makes a presidential speech great? \nThree renowned experts\, with decades of scholarship on presidential rhetoric and countless award-winning articles and books published between them\, will answer that question in this the first of Presidential Lecture Series at the Dole Institute of Politics. This program will feature a conversation about five great presidential speeches with leading experts on presidential rhetoric: Dr. Mary Stuckey from Penn State\, Dr. David Zarefsky from Northwestern\, and Dr. Robert C. Rowland from KU. The discussion will focus on what makes a presidential speech “great\,” why they chose the works they did\, and what great presidential rhetoric tells us about American democracy.\nThis program is free and open to the public. No ticket is required. \nMary E. Stuckey specializes in political and presidential rhetoric\, political communication\, and American Indian politics. She is the author\, editor\, or co-editor of fourteen books and author or coauthor of roughly 80 essays and book chapters. She has received the Michael M. Osborn Teacher/Scholar Award\, the Rose B. Johnson Award (with Zoe Hess-Carney)\, the Roderick P. Hart Outstanding Book Award\, the Marie Hochmuth Nichols Award\, the inaugural Carl Couch Center\, Bruce E. Gronbeck Political Communication Award\, and NCA’s Distinguished Scholar Award. She has served as editor of the Southern Communication Journal and the Quarterly Journal of Speech and as book review editor for Rhetoric and Public Affairs. She is Interim Editor of the Rhetoric & Public Affairs. She co-edits Peter Lang’s series with Mitchell McKinney\, The Frontiers of Political Communication. Her current book project is on the history of controversial elections. \nDavid H. Zarefsky is an American communication scholar with research specialties in rhetorical history and criticism. He is professor emeritus at Northwestern University. He is a past president of the National Communication Association (U.S.A) and the Rhetoric Society of America. Among his publications are six books and over 70 scholarly articles concerned with American public discourse (both historical and contemporary)\, argumentation\, rhetorical criticism\, public speaking\, the Lincoln-Douglas debates\, and the rhetoric of the war on poverty during the Johnson administration. His lectures on argumentation and rhetoric can be heard in a course for The Teaching Company. \n  \nThe Craft of the Presidential Speechwriter\n2/11/2020 \n \nDr. Craig Smith served as a full-time speechwriter for President Gerald Ford\, as a consulting writer to George H. W. Bush and as a consultant to CBS News for convention\, election\, and inaugural coverage. He has also explored presidential speeches as a Professor at Cal State Long Beach. Dr. Smith will engage in a dialogue about speechwriting\, presidential and otherwise\, sharing his unique knowledge as an award-winning scholar and also a renowned practitioner\, who can provide an inside perspective on the role played by the speechwriter\, how that role varies with different presidents\, and how speechwriting has evolved. \nDr. Craig R. Smith has won the Ehninger Award for contributions to rhetorical theory and the Gronbeck Award for political communication\, both from the National Communication Association. He has won that organization’s Robert O’Neil Award three times for scholarly papers on the First Amendment. He has won the Outstanding Professor Award from the National Speakers Association. After completing a Ph.D.\, Dr. Smith taught at San Diego State University\, the University of Virginia\, and the University of Alabama Birmingham\, where he founded the Communication Studies Department. He also served as a full-time speechwriter for President Gerald Ford\, as a consulting writer to George H. W. Bush and as a consultant to CBS News for convention\, election\, and inaugural coverage. He served as founding president of the Freedom of Expression Foundation in Washington\, D.C. from 1983 to 1988. He then became a full professor at California State University\, Long Beach until he retired in 2015. He has published 18 books and over 65 scholarly articles. \n  \nComparing and Contrasting Two Powerfully Eloquent Presidents—Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama\n2/18/2020 \n \nReagan and Obama. Conventional wisdom would contend that these two presidents had little in common. The actor versus the scholar. The grandfather versus the father. The Republican versus the Democrat. \nPresidential rhetoric scholar Dr. Robert C. (Robin) Rowland\, of the department of Communication Studies at KU\, has written extensively about the rhetoric of both President Ronald Reagan and President Barack Obama. Rowland\, who presented the keynote on rhetoric at the Reagan Centennial celebration at USC and the Reagan Library and has won national awards for his research in both rhetoric and argumentation\, argues that the rhetoric of Reagan and Obama is more similar than has been recognized. In a dialogue\, Rowland will explore the similarities and differences between the rhetoric of Reagan and Obama. \n  \nSocial Media & Contemporary Presidential Rhetoric\n2/25/2020 \n \nFew events have more radically reshaped the public sphere than the rise of mass media. From radio to television to social media\, the past century fundamentally altered how presidents in the United States communicate with the electorate\, and how those leaders were perceived by the people. Dr. Denise Bostdorff of Wooster College has studied presidential rhetoric for more than thirty years and produced some of the most influential books and articles on that topic in that period. In a dialogue\, Dr. Bostdorff will discuss key moments in the development of presidential rhetoric over the last several decades\, the role of presidential rhetoric in shaping American politics\, and the drastic changes in presidential rhetoric associated with the rise of social media and the presidency of Donald Trump. This series is co-sponsored by the University of Kansas Department of Communication Studies\, the Department of History\, and the Department of Political Science. \nDenise M. Bostdorff is professor and chair of Communication Studies at The College of Wooster in Wooster\, Ohio. She has published two books—The Presidency and the Rhetoric of Foreign Crisis and Proclaiming the Truman Doctrine: The Cold War Call to Arms\, which won the Bruce E. Gronbeck Political Communication Research Award. In addition\, she has published essays on presidential rhetoric about race\, foreign policy\, political campaigns\, and war in outlets such as Quarterly Journal of Speech\, Presidential Studies Quarterly\, and Rhetoric & Public Affairs.

SUMMARY:The Tet Offensive\, 1968: The Turning Point of the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:With guest speaker Gates Brown. \nThe Tet Offensive of 1968 was a dramatic turning point for both the U.S. and the North Vietnamese in the Vietnam War. Each had their assumptions shattered in the offensive. The North Vietnamese hoped to prove the validity of their revolutionary ideology. The success of the counterattack of the U.S.-led coalition destroyed the Communists forces but also laid bare the divisive politics of the war in the United States. Although it was a tactical and operational victory for the U.S.-led coalition\, it did not translate into an improved strategic position. For the North Vietnamese\, it exposed the ineffectiveness of their strategy of a people’s revolution. After the Tet Offensive\, the U.S. fought for another five years in South Vietnam while the North Vietnamese continued fighting for another seven years. The offensive was decisive because it forced both sides to confront their false assumptions and each had to attempt to reconcile themselves to a new post-Tet strategic reality. \nThis program is free and open to the public. No ticket is required. \n

SUMMARY:The War of the Fifth Coalition\, 1809
DESCRIPTION:Convention says that Napoleon’s downfall came as a result of his misadventures in Spain\, starting in 1808\, and his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812. While both undoubtedly contributed to his ultimate defeat\, the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809 was Napoleon’s turning point. It saw his first undisputed battlefield defeat at Aspern-Essling and marked the demonstrable degeneration of both his armies and his own abilities. It ended with the humiliation of his most inveterate enemy\, Austria\, and the extension of French power into Eastern Europe\, which angered Russia. It also witnessed a personal turning point for Napoleon\, as he set aside his first wife in favor of a dynastic marriage to a Habsburg princess\, Marie-Louise. However\, because of his victory in the war and the drama of events in Spain and Russia\, these changes are often elided or outright forgotten in the thread of Napoleon’s story. This talk will argue that 1809\, more than any other Napoleonic campaign or conflict\, was the turning point in his reign. \nDr. Jonathan Abel is an Assistant Professor of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College Department of Military History. He received his PhD from the Military History Center at the University of North Texas in 2014\, studying late eighteenth-century and Napoleonic France. He is the author of Guibert: Father of Napoleon’s Grande Armée\, along with other publications. \n

SUMMARY:Dr. Temple Grandin
DESCRIPTION:The Dole Institute of Politics will honor advocate for autistic persons and Professor of Animal Science Temple Grandin with the 2019 Dole Leadership Prize.\n“Temple Grandin is a trailblazer\,” Dole Institute Director Bill Lacy said. “She not only overcame widespread ignorance about autism and helped lessen the stigma around it\, she used the challenges she faced to bring an entirely new perspective to how domestic animals are cared for and treated.” \nGrandin will receive the 2019 Dole Leadership Prize at the Dole institute of Politics on Wednesday\, December 11 at 7:00 pm following a question and answer session. \nDiagnosed with autism at the age of two\, Grandin did not speak until she was four. Despite her childhood doctor’s belief that she was brain-damaged\, a common misunderstanding in the 1940s\, she went on to earn a degree in psychology from Franklin Pierce College in 1970\, a master’s degree in animal science from Arizona State University\, and her doctorate in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1989. Today she teaches courses on livestock behavior at Colorado State University and consults with the livestock industry on facility design\, livestock handling\, and animal welfare. She is also a tireless advocate for autistic persons. Grandin fights for “neurodiversity\,” opposing the idea of a “cure” for autism.

SUMMARY:General Sir John Monash
DESCRIPTION:John Monash was a reserve colonel in the Australian army before World War I\, but once the conflict began\, he would become a full-time army officer. Promoted to brigadier general\, major general and eventually lieutenant general\, he commanded the Australian Corps on the Western Front. Monash was one of the first true advocates of combined arms warfare and had a deserved reputation for taking care of his men\, going as far as to have hot meals delivered to the front lines in the midst of battle.

SUMMARY:Philip II "Augustus" of France
DESCRIPTION:The early reign of Philip II of France was an exhibition of poor generalship\, but by the early 1200s\, Philip had seized most of the counties and duchies under the control of England’s King John. These victories would construct the territorial basis for modern France. Philip’s crowning victory at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 was dubbed “the most important battle you’ve never heard of” by the BBC\, and the result would forever change the face of Europe. An expert in medieval warfare\, John Hosler will lead an examination of Philip and some of his most consequential victories.

SUMMARY:Votes for Women: Suffrage and the 19th Amendment Centennial
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years have not yet passed since the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, which granted many — but not all — U.S. women the right to vote. Passed by the House and Senate in 1919 and reaching the threshold to become law of the land in 1920\, it enfranchised 26 million women voters. In this 100th-anniversary kickoff event\, a panel featuring professors Jinx Broussard (Louisiana State University)\, Teri Finneman (KU) and Candi Carter Olson (Utah State University) will examine the women’s suffrage movement and the legacy and limitations of this transformative amendment. This program is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Kansas and its Centennial Celebration Committee.

Join Stephen McAllister\, U.S. attorney for the District of Kansas\, and special guests as they explore the constitutional issues raised in each of three cases:\nKansas v.

Harrington\, Goldstein & Russell\, P.C. and counsel for the defense\, Kansas v. Glover\nTobias S. Loss-Eaton\, Sidley Austin LLP and principal drafter of petition for certiorari\, Kahler v.

SUMMARY:Lieutenant General J.C.H. “Jesus Christ Himself” Lee
DESCRIPTION:When the U.S. entered World War II as a belligerent\, its army ranked 17th in the world in terms of capability. In May 1942\, Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall plucked a hitherto obscure Corps of Engineers officer from his duties and put him in charge of all Army sustainment operations in what would become the European theater of operations.  Who was Gen. John Clifford Hodges Lee\, what did he accomplish\, and why is he remembered in such a dim light by some historians? Dr. Tom Hanson presents an overview of Gen. Lee’s life and career\, and explores why his contributions loom much larger than his detractors would admit.

SUMMARY:General Major Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck
DESCRIPTION:From August 1914 until the after the Armistice in 1918\, Generalmajor Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck conducted a one-sided campaign against the British Empire in east Africa. Lettow-Vorbeck employed superior tactics and stealth against an impossibly large enemy\, preserving the lives of his soldiers and civilians while the harsh environment and disease devastated Allied ranks. The Germans would grudgingly surrender only after news of the Armistice reached them.
