Norman Ingram is Professor of Modern French History at Concordia University in Montreal and has held Visiting Fellowships at Magdalen College, Oxford, the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh, and the University of St Andrews. He has served as Co-President of the Society for French Historical Studies in the United States. Although he is principally known for his first book, The Politics of Dissent: Pacifism in France, 1919-1939 (1991 and 2011), he has published widely in English and French in a wide number of international scholarly venues.
