Dr. Gary Armstrong, professor of political science at William Jewell College, will present the 2007 Carl F. Willard Distinguished Teacher Lecture at 7:30 p.m. February 22 in Room 221 of the Yates-Gill College Union on the William Jewell College campus in Liberty, Mo. The lecture is free and the public is invited to attend.
Dr. Armstrong’s presentation is entitled “How Should Wars End? Dollar Auctions, War Ethics and Getting Out of Iraq.” Dr. Armstrong will offer his views on what moral obligations the United States does and does not have to the Iraqi government and people as the country tries to end its involvement in Iraq.
Dr. Armstrong received his B.A. from the University of Oklahoma and his Ph.D. from Georgetown University. He joined the William Jewell College faculty in 1992. He currently serves as Chair of the Department of Political Science and Director of the International Relations major. His Ph.D. dissertation dealt with war termination and the American debate over how to end World War One.
The Willard Lecture is named for the late Carl Willard, a trustee at William Jewell from 1967 to 1991. To honor Willard’s memory and perpetuate his ideals, friends established the Carl F. Willard Distinguished Teacher Award at William Jewell as a continuing investment in tomorrow’s leaders. The Faculty Development Committee recommends honorees for the award to the President and Dean, and the recipient is announced at the Annual Faculty Dinner in May.
