Watch the recording of ourÌýMay 19 virtual discussion between and, Director and Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University.Ìý
A distinguished writer and dedicated scholar, Dr. Brown is theÌýauthor of .
The centerpiece ofÌýDr. Brown's book is the focus on our understanding—from the time of Washington, through Lincoln, to the contemporary period—of the role that character should play, but often has not, of late, in terms of the person elected to the White House and how they conduct themselves in the office and as a leader. Brown’s analysis interrogates the scholarship around the concept of presidential psychology and leadership, while unpacking the connections between leadership in this complicated elected office and how we have, more recently, elected presidents who are often lacking in experience, and why this is problematic.
