Kai Bird, one of the United States' leading biographers and a Pulitzer Prize recipient, will join the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute on Wednesday, October 30, at 10 am CT for a discussion on the statesmanship of former President Jimmy Carter.

Bird will discuss with Institute director John Shaw his biography of Carter, “The Outlier: The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter,” as well as several of his other books.
