About this Event
Matthew Continetti of the American Enterprise Institute discusses his book The Right: The Hundred Year War for American Conservatism, which explores the history of American conservatism from the Progressive Era to the present day. Continetti shares his insights about the developments and pressures that have shaped conservative thought and the conflicts between a desire for mainstream acceptance and the pull of extremism and populism. Moderating the conversation is UVA Professor of Politics Gerard Alexander, who is also president of the Blue Ridge Center.
Lunch will be served starting at 11:30 AM. Continetti's book will be available for purchase. Parking is not available at Bond House. If you plan to drive, there is paid parking within walking distance at the Oakhurst Inn and Central Grounds Garage. For additional handicap accessible parking spots, consult this.
