The Brose Distinguished Lecture Series was endowed by Steven and Janice Brose to encourage senior scholars to explore fresh ways of considering the Civil War era. Each speaker gives three different lectures around a theme over the course of three evenings.

In order to share this work with the public and the greater academic community, the Richards Civil War Era Center has partnered with the University of North Carolina Press to publish expanded versions of these talks. Richards Center Director William Blair serves as series editor.
