Description

<p>For this episode, we welcome Dr. Jay Barth, Hendrix Class of 1987 and M.E. and Ima Graves Peace Distinguished Professor <em>Emeritus</em> of Politics. His graduation from Hendrix led him to the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, where he earned his master’s and Ph.D. in political science before returning to Hendrix to teach in Department of Politics and its predecessors. Dr. Barth taught here from 1994 until his early retirement in 2019, when his second departure from Hendrix led to more adventures. After serving for a time as the inaugural Chief Education Officer for the City of Little Rock, Jay accepted his current role: Director of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum. </p> <p>Jay is joined today by Phineas Chapman, Hendrix Class of 2022, who now lives in Fayetteville, where he is taking a gap year to work, travel, and apply to law schools.</p>
