Introducing “Policy Lessons from the Past: U.S. history with a Texas twist”

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This trueism is particularly relevant today as policy makers grapple with mounting societal and cultural changes. Policy professionals face challenges in areas as diverse as racial justice, immigration and global confrontations, even as large numbers of citizens are questioning the very nature of democracy in the 21st century. The LBJ School of Public Affairs Policy on Purpose Podcast explores these topics in a new four-part series that we're calling policy lessons from the past U.S. history with a Texas twist. I'm Bill Schoot, Executive Director of the LBJ Washington Center, and I'll be your host as we hear from four Texas-based policy experts, each with recently published books that look at how our shared history impacts today's political environment. Subscribe to Policy on Purpose and don't miss an episode coming this fall. For more information on this upcoming series and our four authors, please visit LBJ dot U-Texas dot E-D-U slash podcasts.
