In a press release Friday, Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced that Jonathan Earle, associate professor of history, as the new interim director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Earle took the place of Bill Lacy, who took a leave of absence to direct former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson’s exploratory presidential campaign committee.
Earle joined the Dole Institute in 2003 as the associate director of academic programming. He organized events and academic programs that got University students interested in politics. Earle was very involved in the organization of the Dole Lecture by former President Bill Clinton in 2004.
“In Jonathan, the Dole Institute is in exceptionally capable hands,” Hemenway said in the press release. “As a scholar and an award winning teacher, Jonathan has taken his classroom expertise to create engaging and entertaining programs at the institute.
Earle is an associate professor of history, and served as a visiting chair in U.S. history at Occidental College in Los Angeles last year. He is the author of several books and was named one of eight top young historians by the History News Network. Earle has won numerous awards including, the 2005 Broussard prize by the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, co-winner of the 2005 Byron Caldwell Smith Book Prize for best book authored by a Kansan, and W.T. Kemper Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching in 2003.
