Online Lecture: 2025 Keynote: Doris Kearns Goodwin on Leadership in Turbulent Times

Not since the 1850s has our nation been so politically divided. Not since the Great Depression and World War II have we faced such a succession of shared hardships. And not since the 1960s have we grappled so intensely with the struggle for social and economic equality. Drawing from her book, “Leadership: In Turbulent Times,” Doris Kearns Goodwin transports us back in time to provide perspective and analysis as she helps us understand how the presidents she’s studied most closely — Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson — provide proof that as a country and a people we’ve been through most difficult times before and came through stronger. History, as Goodwin demonstrates, provides lessons, solace and even hope.
