Adam I.P. Smith – Senior lecturer in American History at University College London and author of No Party Now: Politics in the Civil War North – will be visiting UVA in April.

The Civil War Studies Seminar holds lunch-time sessions regularly throughout the academic year as a forum for presenting and discussing works-in-progress by graduate students and faculty.

Adam will present a paper drawing on his forthcoming book project, The Stormy Present: Conservatism and American Politics in an Age of Revolution, 1848-1877.
