Yes, that&#8217;s all the reading there is &#8211; you have your papers to turn in, so this session will be more lecture-like than usual and less reading-heavy. The presenters are: J. Fails, M. Lynch, and S. Boosahda &#8211; if you need a suggestion, each of you could take one of the three presidential cases and provide either a quick overview of the episode and the Constitutional issues involved, or perhaps a discussion of a useful resource for studying that president&#8217;s moment of crisis and its resolution.<\/p>\n<p>We will also have a very special opportunity during our class time. Our campus Women&#8217;s Studies program is hosting historian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bofarrell.net\/\">Brigid O&#8217;Farrell<\/a> on Monday the 23rd, author of <em>Eleanor Roosevelt: She Was One of Us<\/em>. A sociologist by training, O&#8217;Farrell uses labor history to better understand the issues and barriers confronting today\u2019s workers and their unions. She is currently a lecturer and project director at Mills College and affiliated with the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project, George Washington University.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day she will be speaking about the content of her work on Eleanor Roosevelt, but in the evening she&#8217;s giving a special session for history graduate students and the general public about archival research, titled &#8220;The Challenge of Archives and Audiences, Unions and Universities.&#8221; We will all attend her talk (along with Dr. Haller&#8217;s research methods class) <strong>from 6-7 in the Student Center&#8217;s Blue Lounge<\/strong>, and then stroll back to our regular classroom to ponder presidential travesties.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a campus map &#8211; I marked our classroom location, and the location of the Blue Lounge. It&#8217;s in the ground floor of the Student Center in the corner closest to the landscaping pond and athletic fields.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsu.tonahangen.com\/conhist2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/PartialCampusMapBL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-155\" title=\"PartialCampusMapBL\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wsu.tonahangen.com\/conhist2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/PartialCampusMapBL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wsu.tonahangen.com\/conhist2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/PartialCampusMapBL.jpg 878w, https:\/\/www.wsu.tonahangen.com\/conhist2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/PartialCampusMapBL-300x249.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have some rich, complicated cases to consider in rapid succession as three presidents face serious Constitutional crises during their terms in office: Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and George W.
