Earlier this week, I successfully defended my DPhil thesis, 'The Counterpart System: How Does the East Wing and the Office of the First Lady Develop within the Executive Staff Between 1961-1976?'
Thrilled to take up my new position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at @CPHatSMU in Tx!

We’re so grateful to Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton for contributing messages for President Carter’s 100th birthday concert. The audience was thrilled! Today, on President Carter’s actual birthday, we’re delighted to share excerpts from those with the world.

Jimmy Carter was born closer to the death of both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (d. 1826) than to the present day! #Carter100

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter on what would be her 97th birthday. We think of her kindness and compassion for people from all walks of life and are honored to continue her groundbreaking work in mental health.

President Biden's status as a lame duck “might actually give him more efficacy."
Biden's legacy depends on whether his "accomplishments grow over time and outweigh the limitations of his record," argues the Miller Center's Guian McKee.
