SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Ethan Rafuse: “Hybrid War in the Shenandoah in 1864”
DESCRIPTION:Defense analysts have identified the emergence of “hybrid warfare” as a compelling threat to American national security and declared it one of the more notable developments of the first decade of the 21st century. Of course\, while the label may be new\, hybrid warfare is not new in the human experience. This talk will discuss Union operations in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864\, using it as a case study of a specific campaign in the Civil War where both conventional and unconventional operations were significant factors. It examines Sheridan’s efforts\, the particular dynamics and challenges he confronted\, and the factors that enabled him to prevail. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Missing\, Then Action: An Army Wife Speaks out
DESCRIPTION:In June 1965\, Kansan Kathleen Johnson received word that her husband\, U.S. Army Major Bruce Johnson was missing. \nFor four years\, she waited—then\, she sought answers for her three young children. This is her story of love\, loss\, waiting – and action. \nKathleen Johnson of Salina\, Kansas was a founding member of the National League of Families of Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia. These brave military wives from across the country spoke out\, against government policy\, to seek recognition\, answers\, and accounting for their prisoner of war (POW) and missing in action (MIA) husbands during Vietnam. Some national leaders\, including Senator Bob Dole\, became fervent advocates for them in the halls of the U.S. government. \nThis special exhibit is made possible by ITC Great Plains. \n

SUMMARY:President Juan Manuel Santos
DESCRIPTION:The Dole Institute of Politics will honor Juan Manuel Santos\, former President of Colombia with the 2022 Dole Leadership Prize. \nThe Dole Leadership Prize is a bipartisan award presented annually to an individual who demonstrates the importance of involvement in political and civic affairs. Santos was identified for recognition by the late Senator Bob Dole in honor of his successful efforts to bring peace to Colombia. \n“We are honored to welcome President Santos back to the Dole Institute to present him with the 2022 Dole Leadership Prize\,” said Dole Institute director Audrey Coleman. The President’s 2012 visit marked the first time the Dole Institute hosted a sitting head of state. \nSantos graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Economics and Administration and completed post-graduate studies at the London School of Economics and Harvard University. \nHe served two terms as President of Colombia from 2010-2018\, with one of the cornerstones of his administration being his work on a peace process with FARC\, the Colombian guerilla organization. As a result of his commitment to achieve peace in Colombia\, he was the sole recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016 for “his resolute efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end\,” according to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. \nThe program will take place at the Dole Institute of Politics at 7 p.m. on September 20. A book sale and signing will take place after the program. Attendees can purchase the English translation of Santos’ book\, The Battle for Peace: The Long Road to Ending a War with the World’s Oldest Guerrilla Army\, published by the University Press of Kansas.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Gates Brown: “Implications of the Korean War on US Policy”
DESCRIPTION:The Korean War\, often described as the Forgotten War\, was foundational to the creation of the national defense posture that the United States maintained throughout the Cold War. After World War II\, the Truman administration quickly demobilized much of the U.S. military in an effort to return to normalcy and get the United States economy on a peacetime footing. This was similar to previous post-war periods in the United States\, where the large military force quickly returned to its peacetime form\, which was a fraction of the wartime size. This talk will discuss the implications of the Korean War both domestically and internationally. To meet this conflict\, the Truman administration restarted conscription to meet the force needs to fight the war and imposed domestic economic controls\, although to a lesser degree than those used in World War II. Internationally\, the Korean War served as a catalyst for the increase of the US military contribution to the recently created North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It also established the military character of the Cold War\, that the main kinetic aspects of the conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States would be in proxy wars while the nuclear deterrent maintained a tense status quo between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. \nGates Brown is currently an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. He received his PhD from the University of Kansas. His research interests include the early Cold War and the evolution of U.S. nuclear strategy in the late 1940s and 1950s.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Sean Kalic: “Espionage during the Cold War”
DESCRIPTION:For the duration of the Cold War and even in the aftermath\, spies and tales of espionage have captivated the imagination. The fact that the western press occasionally found a “true” story and published its exploits only further fueled the fasciation of the clandestine exploits of the spies on both sides of the Cold War. This public fascination with the “war in the shadows” did not wither as did the Cold War itself. In fact\, as the archives of the former Soviet Union opened and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) declassified volumes of documents from their Cold War operations\, the public finally got a look behind the people\, operations\, and structure of some of the intelligence operations associated with the Cold War. \nDr. Sean N. Kalic is a Professor in the Department of Military at the US Army Command and General Staff College\, where he has taught since 2004.  He had published widely and written books on Al Qaeda\, the militarization of space\, The Russian Revolution\, and Cold War espionage.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Nate Jennings: “Countering Diverse Threats in the Republic of Texas”
DESCRIPTION:From 1836 to 1845\, after gaining independence at the Battle of San Jacinto\, the Republic of Texas faced nearly insurmountable security dilemmas as it struggled to both protect and aggrandize territory across the lower Great Plains. While this included constant warfare against a variety of American Indian tribes that excelled in mobile raiding along expansive frontiers\, it also featured conventional military threats from a much more powerful and vengeful Mexico to the south. \nLTC Nathan Jennings is a US Army officer and Assistant Professor at the US Army Command and General Staff College. He is a graduate of the School of Advanced Military Studies and holds a PhD in History from the University of Kent.

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).
