A Tale of Three Cities: How the United States Won World War II
At the end of World War II in August 1945, Winston Churchill declared that "the United States stand at this moment at the summit of the world." The United States has in fact continued to occupy that summit for the last six decades -- becoming history's wealthiest nation and dominating the international system as few powers have ever been able to do. How did that remarkable transformation in the nature of American society, and America's relation to the world, come about? Was it an accident of war or the deliberate result of policy? Professor Kennedy's lecture will offer some answers to those questions.

Globalizing Political History Workshop
This collaborative workshop between the University of Wisconsin and the University of Chicago will showcase a diverse range of scholarship that contributes to a growing dialogue about globalizing political history. We define this topic very broadly, and encourage participants in all historical sub-fields. We are looking for conceptually creative and empirically rigorous draft papers. We envision this as an informal forum for graduate students and faculty from our two institutions to share their work and learn from one another. We hope to build a vibrant cross-institutional collaborative culture, and, if possible, make this an annual event.
The workshop will include panels of paper presenters, a round-table discussion, and various social activities -- including a group dinner. We hope to encourage a mix of graduate student and faculty participants from our two institutions, with diverse regional, chronological, and methodological approaches.

Join Dr. Campbell Craig as he discusses the great debate about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and how the emergence of new evidence has changed the approach of a new generation of scholars. Craig will focus on the attitude of President Truman, who up until July 1945 had barely given a thought to bombing Japan with atomic weapons. Yet, during the Potsdam Conference that same month, Truman was overjoyed to receive news of the successful Trinity test of the bomb. But why?

George W. Bush and American Foreign Policy: What's New? What's Old?
A distinguished historian of the Cold War, Melvyn Leffler has written extensively about the economic and strategic dimensions of American foreign policy in the 20th century, including in his prize-winning book, A Preponderance of Power: National Security, the Truman Administration, and the Cold War (1992). Leffler will illuminate the considerable continuities that exist between the Bush foreign policy, goals, tactics, and rhetoric and those of his predecessors, and will suggest that the reasons that it has caused so much controversy lie in the ways that fear, power, and culture shape American diplomacy.
