Graduate Student Speaker Series: Marie Totten, Political Outcast: “Justice Jim” Johnson
and Massive Resistance in Arkansas Marie Totten, a doctoral student in the Department of History, will present her research on Jin Johnson and his tremendous influence on Arkansas politics in the last half of the 20th century. "Groomed by successful segregationists, Johnson should have ousted the moderate Faubus in 1956, but Johnson never fit in to Arkansas politics. He was always the outcast, the forever candidate who Arkansas voters rejected, even when they embraced his segregationist ideas," Totten notes. "My work seeks to bring Justice Jim to the forefront of 20th century Arkansas politics, because you need to understand the villains in order to fully appreciate the heroes." This event is free and open to the public. |

Pizza and Pups Need a little study break? As part of De-Stress for Success Week, we’ll be standing by ready with pizza (first come, first served!) and puppy pets from UARK lawpaw, Oakley and friends. Petting a canine companion can help lower blood pressure and help ease depression. Pets also help decrease stress by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and increasing levels of the neurochemical oxytocin, the love hormone. What's better than that?! |
