Volpe examines the political awakening of this generation that has come largely during the Trump era, as well as what he describes as a “significant mental health crisis,” intensified by the state of the country’s politics. Volpe, the Harvard Institute of Politics Polling Director, also led a town hall meeting for students at the Dole Institute in 2015. He is known as one of the world’s leading authorities on global sentiment, opinion, and influence, especially among young Americans and in the age of digital and social media.

Fort Leavenworth: Ethan Rafuse: “Hybrid War in the Shenandoah in 1864”
2022-06-02 15:00 - 17:00 | The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence, KS, 66045, United States
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.

Exhibit: Missing, Then Action: An Army Wife Speaks out
2022-06-14 12:00 - 2023-01-26 16:00 | Elizabeth Dole Gallery & Reading Room, 2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence, 66045, United States
In June 1965, Kansan Kathleen Johnson received word that her husband, U.S. Army Major Bruce Johnson was missing.
For four years, she waited—then, she sought answers for her three young children. This is her story of love, loss, waiting – and action.
Kathleen 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.
This special exhibit is made possible by ITC Great Plains.

From Dependents to Interdependence: The Army Officer's Wife Ideal and the Making of Army Family Policy
2022-06-16 14:00 - 15:30 | The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence, KS, 66045, United States
Historian Mary McMurray will contextualize the activism of POW/MIA wives with the changing roles and expectations of the Army wife in the 20th century. Using military guidebooks and other sources directed at military spouses, Mary places Army spouses at the center of systemic changes in the Army. Her presentation, followed by audience Q&A, will cover the period from the beginning of World War II, with the old saying, “if the Army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one,” to 1983, with the release of the Army Family White Paper that called for policies and practices to support the interdependence of families and the military.
Mary McMurray is the Director of the Johnson County Museum, which just earned national accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums. Mary holds degrees in history from MU (Bachelors), UMKC (Masters), and KU (Doctorate). She is passionate about civic engagement and using lessons from the past to inspire, empower, and embolden people to make a brighter future.

Tony R. “Randy” Mullis, PhD | Bleeding Kansas and British Kaffraria in the 1850s
2022-07-28 15:00 - 16:30 | https://youtu.be/MPuz4XTJTgY
Many Kansans are familiar with the Bleeding Kansas era of American history in context of American westward expansion. Few, however, may know of a comparable event of British eastward expansion that occurred in modern day South Africa (British Kaffraria) during the 1850s. Dr. Mullis’s presentation assesses select American and British political and military approaches to expansion during the 1850s to identify “common” Western strategic approaches and legacies.
Dr. Mullis is currently a professor of military history at the Redstone Arsenal satellite campus of the US Army Command and General Staff College. He received his PhD in History from the University of Kansas and is the author of Peacekeeping on the Plains: Army Operations in Bleeding Kansas.

During the Second World War, the US military interrogated over 3,000 German Prisoners of War at a secret facility at Fort Hunt, Virginia. These interrogations offer fascinating perspectives of the German situation in the final year of the war and allow us to evaluate how well American authorities knew its enemy at the time.

President Juan Manuel Santos
2022-09-20 19:00 - 20:30 | The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence, KS, 66045, United States
The Dole Institute of Politics will honor Juan Manuel Santos, former President of Colombia with the 2022 Dole Leadership Prize.
The 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.
“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.
Santos 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.
He 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.
The 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.

Fort Leavenworth: Gates Brown: “Implications of the Korean War on US Policy”
2022-10-06 15:00 - 17:00 | The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence, KS, 66045, United States
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.
Gates 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.

Fort Leavenworth: Sean Kalic: “Espionage during the Cold War”
2022-11-03 15:00 - 17:00 | The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence, KS, 66045, United States
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.
Dr. 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.

There will also be four expert witnesses. Amy Fettig is the Executive Director at The Sentencing Project. Neil Volz is the Deputy Director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. Michael A. Smith is a Professor of Political Science and Chair of Social Sciences at Emporia State University. Stephen McAllister is E.S. & Tom W.

Fort Leavenworth: Nate Jennings: “Countering Diverse Threats in the Republic of Texas”
2022-12-01 15:00 - 17:00 | https://youtu.be/DScRPsQw4-I
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.
LTC 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.
