Presidential historian and scholar Dr. Jeremi Suri discusses a country rebuilding itself as it wrestles with competing visions of democracy, race and freedom, in a conversation moderated by Bill Shute, Executive Director of the LBJ Washington Center. Dr. Suri shares his analysis of democracy, starting in 1865 when the Confederacy was militarily defeated and continues through 2022. This is the subject of his new book Civil War by Other Means: America’s Long and Unfinished Fight for Democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event is the third installment of a special series titled \u201cPolicy Lessons from the Past” with four Texas-based policy experts discussing how our shared history impacts today’s political environment, spanning topics like racial justice, immigration, global confrontations and the very nature of democracy. \u201cPolicy Lessons from the Past\u201d is presented by the LBJ School Washington Center. Bill Shute is an executive management professional and government relations expert who has spent his professional career working in the federal policy arena and his entire personal life in federal politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shute was vice chancellor for federal relations with The University of Texas System from September 2001 to May 2019. The UT System is one of the nation's largest higher education systems, with 14 institutions and an annual operating budget of $18.9 billion (FY 2018). In his role as vice chancellor, Shute was responsible for all UT System and campus activities in Washington, DC and managed a staff of 14 System employees. Under his supervision, the Office of Federal Relations was charged with facilitating and enhancing the federal research and development portfolio of the UT System, reviewing and advocating federal policy, and overseeing a multicampus undergraduate and graduate fellowship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
