Drawing from her book "Remember the First Ladies: The Legacies of America’s History-Making Women," Diana Carlin discusses the evolving role of the first lady and its historic importance to the American presidency. Carlin shines a light on the influential women who broke barriers and made a mark on the nation, examining both the development of the role and the legacies first ladies have left behind. She explores how first ladies have influenced American society, public policy, political campaigns, major speeches, diplomacy, and daily life within the White House, from Martha Washington through Dr. Jill Biden.
Carlin is a retired professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas and former dean of KU’s Graduate School and International Programs. She is a co-author of "U.S. First Ladies: Making History and Leaving Legacies" and a founding member of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education.
Held at the Wichita Art Museum, the Hall Center in Wichita series brings together scholars and community members from Lawrence, KS to Wichita to share research, accomplishments, and stories in the humanities.
All are welcome to attend the FREE reception and talk honoring some of the most influential women in our nation's history.

Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.
