SUMMARY:First Ladies and Power - Influential First Ladies You Might Not Know Much About
DESCRIPTION:Anyone 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. \nModerated by Diana Carlin\, featuring Rebecca Roberts\, Katherine Sibley\, and Teri Finneman. \nRebecca Roberts is an award-winning educator\, author\, and speaker\, and is a leading historian of American women’s suffrage and civic participation. Her new biography of Edith Wilson\, Untold Power\, will be published by Viking in March 2023. She is currently deputy director of events at the Library of Congress\, and has previously worked as a journalist\, producer\, tour guide\, forensic anthropologist\, event planner\, political consultant\, jazz singer\, and radio talk show host. She lives in Washington\, DC\, with her husband\, their three sons\, and a long-eared hound dog. \nKatherine A. S. Sibley is the editor of both Southern First Ladies: Culture and Place in White House History (University Press of Kansas\, 2021)\, as well as A Companion to First Ladies (Wiley\, 2016).  Her current project is Michelle Obama: First Lady and “Mom-in-Chief\,” also with Kansas\, and an earlier book with that press\, First Lady Florence Harding: Beyond the Tragedy and Controversy\, appeared in 2009\, and led her to write and perform a musical play on Florence Harding’s life; she also has appeared on CSPAN’s First Ladies program to discuss Florence. Presently\, she is launching a new first ladies book series\, also with Kansas (co-edited with Nancy Beck Young)\, which will explore thematic and interdisciplinary aspects of those in the office. She is also a founding member of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE). \nTeri Finneman is an associate professor of journalism in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at KU. She is the author of Press Portrayals of Women Politicians\, 1870s-2000s and co-editor of Social Justice\, Activism\, and Diversity in U.S. Media History\, which releases later this spring. She is executive producer of the Journalism History podcast. \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.

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.

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.

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:A New Cold War? America\, China\, and Russia after the Ukraine War
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Dole Institute to hear Professors Ross and Zhang discuss the future of geopolitics after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Is a long-term alignment between Russia and China now inevitable? Is the U.S.-dominated liberal international order giving away to a U.S.-China bipolar order? Should the U.S. work with allies to contain China in the same way it has been doing with sanctions on Russia? What are Ukraine’s lessons for Taiwan?  \nRobert S. Ross is Professor of Political Science at Boston College and Associate\, John King Fairbank Center for East Asian Research\, Harvard University.  He has been a Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Security Studies\, Peking University\, a Fulbright Professor at the Chinese Foreign Affairs College\, and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the Institute of International Strategic Studies\, Qinghua University.

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. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the KU’s Department of Political Science and the Center for Russian\, Eastern European\, and Eurasian Studies (CREES).

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: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.

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.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Angela Riotto and Derek Mallett: “Prisoners of War as Military Intelligence in the Civil War and World War 2"
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDerek Mallett is currently an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College\, Fort Belvoir\, Virginia satellite campus. His research interests include the Second World War\, prisoners of war\, military intelligence\, war and public memory\, and national security. \nAngela Riotto received her Ph.D. from the University of Akron. Her research examines the ways in which both U.S. and Confederate former prisoners of war discussed their captivity between 1861 and 1930. She currently teaches with the Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College as an Assistant Professor.

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.

SUMMARY:Dave Mills: “Bread for my Enemies: US Aid to Germany after World War 2”
