Description

An author speaks to an audience in the Robins Family Forum auditoriumJoin the VMHC for the second annual Conrad M. Hall Symposium for Virginia History, an event where historians, practitioners, and members of the public will gather to explore our shared past.

Keynote Lecture

Beginning the day will be a special keynote lecture from award-winning historian Dr. Elizabeth Varon on the topic - “Remaking Southern Identity in Reconstruction-Era Virginia: The Strange Careers of Elizabeth Van Lew, Joseph T. Wilson, and James Longstreet.”

Dr. Varon is the Langbourne M. Williams Professor of American History at the University of Virginia and Associate Director of UVA’s John L. Nau III Center for Civil War History. Her books include Southern Lady, Yankee Spy: The True Story of Elizabeth Van Lew, A Union Agent in the Heart of the Confederacy and Armies of Deliverance: A New History of the Civil War, winner of the 2020 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize. Her most recent book, Longstreet: The Confederate General Who Defied the South, is an authoritative biography of the controversial Confederate general, who later embraced Reconstruction and became an outcast in the South.
