Dwight Eisenhower on Technology and Philosophy in the Cold War
November 8, 2025 at the Littlefield Home
UT Austin’s School of Civic Leadership and the Jack Miller Center hosted a professional development opportunity for middle and high school teachers led by Dr. John Kitch. Dwight Eisenhower understood the Cold War to be a conflict of ideas waged in the context of profound technological change. Through a study of two speeches, teachers explored Eisenhower’s view of the defining issue of his presidency. Participants received a $200 stipend and a certificate for completing three hours of professional development.
