The event is structured as a panel chaired by Professor Eric Kaufmann (also of Birkbeck). Panelists are Professor David Coleman, emeritus professor at the University of Oxford and an authority on demography and Geoffrey Hosking, a professor at University College London and an expert in Russia, as well as Dr Paul Morland.
