Dear Dole Institute Supporter,

I’m delighted to announce that we are returning to in-person programs this fall.

We’ll be taking appropriate precautions. We have installed an air purifier in Hansen Hall. Although we don’t have the space for social distancing, we’ll be rigorously enforcing the KU mask mandate.

We will constantly monitor the Covid-19 situation and reserve the right to reschedule any program or transition to virtual at any time.

We will continue to stream our programs on YouTube for both our national audience as well as those who may be uncomfortable with in-person programs at this time. You may view them live or at a time of your convenience.

It’s a wonderful schedule and I hope you can join us,

Bill Lacy
Director

The Engagement: America’s Quarter-Century Struggle Over Same-Sex Marriage

Sasha Issenberg
September 8, 2021 at 7 p.m.

On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional, making same-sex unions legal across the United States. However, the road to that historic decision was much longer than many realize. Nationally recognized political journalist Sasha Issenberg will return to the Institute to guide us through the issue’s journey from unimaginable to inevitable as he discusses his latest book, “The Engagement: America’s Quarter-Century Struggle Over Same-Sex Marriage,” based in part on research he conducted in the Dole Archives as a travel grant recipient.

This program includes a book sale and signing with the author.

2021 Constitution Day program:
The Constitution and COVID-19

Lou Mulligan, Sharon Brett, Clay Britton, Brant Laue
September 16, 2021 at 7 p.m.

As we continue to go through the worst pandemic in more than a century, there has been increased debate on whether the State can enforce health mandates — such as masking, distancing, and vaccine injections — as a legal matter. In observation of Constitution Day, KU Law Professor Lou Mulligan will lead a panel of legal experts in a discussion of the constitutionality of such mandates. The panel will consist of Governor Kelly’s General Counsel Clay Britton, ACLU of Kansas’s Legal Director Sharon Brett, and Solicitor General of Kansas Brant Laue.

2021 Journalism and Politics Lecture: The Future of Journalism

Bill Kurtis
October 6, 2021 at 7 p.m.

Kansas’s preeminent broadcaster, the legendary Bill Kurtis, will join us to discuss his thoughts on the future of journalism, returning to the state where he first started his career. Kurtis worked as a radio announcer at age 16 in his hometown of Independence, graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in journalism in 1962, and got his first job as a television news anchor in Topeka in 1966. He has gone on to have a career in journalism spanning over 50 years, including anchoring the news at CBS and hosting the television shows Investigative Reports, Cold Case Files, and American Justice.

Kurtis’s iconic, deep commanding voice has also led him to have a second career in comedy. He provided the satirical narration for the film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and he can be heard weekly on NPR as the co-host of the immensely popular, comical news quiz, Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me.

Laughing at Myself: My Education in Congress, on the Farm, and at the Movies

Dan Glickman
October 14, 2021 at 7 p.m.

Former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman returns to the Institute to discuss his autobiography, “Laughing at Myself: My Education in Congress, on the Farm, and at the Movies,” based on his fascinating career path, which took him from Kansas to D.C. and Hollywood. Glickman served as the Secretary of Agriculture for six years under President Clinton and represented Kansas’s 4th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives for 18 years. Glickman served as director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government from 2002 to 2004 and served as chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America Inc. from 2004 to 2010. He is also a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center and the former vice president of the Aspen Institute.

This program includes a book sale and signing with the author.

A Conversation on Race Part IV:

The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor, America’s First Black Sports Hero

Michael Kranish
October 19, 2021 at 7 p.m.

Investigative political reporter and author Michael Kranish will join us for our fourth installment of our A Conversation on Race series. He will discuss the life, tribulations, and career of Major Taylor, the first American-born Black world champion in any sport, 50 years before Jackie Robinson became a Major League baseball player. Kranish spent years collecting thousands of articles written about Taylor for his book, “The World's Fastest Man: The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor, America's First Black Sports Hero,” in which he tells the story of how Taylor overcame insurmountable odds to become a world-class athlete during the Jim Crow era. Taylor's trailblazing accomplishments had widespread impact across society and are relevant to conversations we are having about African American athletes today.

This program includes a book sale and signing with the author.

Ft. Leavenworth: Alfred Mahan and Naval Theory

John Kuehn
September 2, 2021 at 3 p.m.

Dr. Kuehn will discuss naval theory as it relates to Alfred Thayer Mahan, a naval officer and historian, who was considered one of the most influential strategists of the 19th Century. Pre-World War I, Mahan believed that real national power could only be achieved with a robust maritime empire. Kuehn will assess the impact of his ideas, including how they were misunderstood.

September 11, 2001: The Day that Changed the World

Exhibit on display from August 31 until September 19, 2021

The Dole Institute will display a special poster exhibition in Simons Media Room from August 31 through September 19, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Entitled “September 11, 2001: The Day that Changed the World,” the exhibit reviews the events of the day, highlights personal experiences, and invites reflection. It was developed by the 9/11 Memorial Museum with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In Hansen Hall, visitors can also view two original beams from World Trade Center Tower One, a permanent memorial at the Institute. The two columns were salvaged and presented to the Dole Institute by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in appreciation of Senator Bob Dole’s work with Former President Bill Clinton on the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund for the children of 9/11 victims.

Ft. Leavenworth: Pre-World War I French Military Doctrine and its Consequences

Richard Faulkner
October 7, 2021 at 3 p.m.

In the years prior to World War I, the French military wrestled with how to defend itself against a larger, more industrialized foe. Like the Great War’s other major combatants, the French pre-war doctrine proved to be ill-suited to meet the realities of the 1914 battlefield. This lecture will examine the factors that influenced the French Army’s pre-war doctrine, how the army envisioned fighting “the next great war,” and how it adapted its tactical strategy from 1915 to 1918, after its peacetime doctrine failed to secure France’s hope for victory in 1914.

Ft. Leavenworth: Vo Nguyen Giap and Le Duan: Vietnam’s Victors

Martin Clemis
November 4, 2021 at 3 p.m.

Between 1945 and 1975, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam fought and won two major conflicts against tremendous odds: one against France and the other against the U.S. and its South Vietnamese ally. The architects of these incredible victories were General Vo Nguyen Giap, the commander of the North Vietnamese Army, and Le Duan, the General Secretary of the Vietnam Worker’s Party. Although they both utilized a hybrid politico-military approach that synthesized conventional war, guerrilla warfare, and mass politics, they each pursued a unique variation of communist revolutionary warfare. In this lecture, Clemis will discuss how these men and their theories of war carried the communists to victory in Vietnam, and in doing so, brought the most far-reaching and consequential conflict of the Cold War to a conclusion.

Ft. Leavenworth: Kennan and Nitze: Early Cold War Theorists

Gates Brown and Dave Mills
December 2, 2021 at 3 p.m.

Brown and Mills will discuss two of the most influential Cold War theoriest: George Kennan and Paul Nitze, who were exact opposites in strategy and outlook. Kennan was a realist who
believed the U.S. should eliminate its arsenal of nuclear weapons. His guiding philosophy was that an individual or a nation that desired peace should act peacefully, although
his opinions on dealing with the U.S.S.R. ironically led to the most aggressive foreign policy in American history. Nitze was a hawk who advocated a more assertive role in foreign affairs, believing that if a nation desired peace, it should prepare for war. More than any other American, Nitze was responsible for the arms race between the two superpowers throughout the
Cold War.
