Description of Lecture

The ways in which American presidents respond to crises offer important insights into their politics, their leadership styles, and their interpretations of the Constitution. In this lecture, Wessell will draw upon the powers of critical analysis inculcated through a liberal arts education to assess presidential power as she examines the ways in which recent presidents have responded to war, natural disaster, civil unrest, and the ever-changing landscape of current events.
