40@40: Arts and Humanities faculty member Stephen Rabe will discuss "Teaching U.S. Foreign Relations: Dilemmas--Personal, Local, National, and International" as part of a year-long series of 40 events (or more) created to mark UT Dallas' fourth decade as a UT System institution. Rabe's talk will take the year 1969 as its starting point and incorporate UT Dallas, President Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, the Nixon initiative with China, and the overthrow of a constitutional government in Chile into an examination of the dilemmas inherent in the writing and teaching of U.S. foreign relations.

He has written or edited 10 books, received the Stuart L. Bernath Lecture Prize in 1989 and the Polykarp Kusch Lectureship from UT Dallas in 2000, served as the Mary Ball Washington Professor of American History at University College, Dublin, Ireland and as the Fulbright Bicentennial Chair in American History at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
