Part 1 of 3. Woodrow Wilson - the professor turned president and a very complicated figure in American history. He campaigned to be a domestic policy president and later in favor of neutrality but ended up a wartime president. WWI is a fascinating moment in the history and evolution of the American presidency, and Wilson is at the heart of that. To explore this topic,  we will be joined by Andrew Phillips, curator of the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in Staunton, VA for a special three-part series. The first part of the series will trace the Wilson’s meteoric rise – from his days as a professor to his political career and his vision of the role of the American president. Future podcasts will focus on Wilson during WWI, and then Wilson in the aftermath of WWI.
