Workshop: Russia of 2019
Back by popular demand, this workshop will give a compact and versatile insight into contemporary Russian society. The day will be split into three parts, each of which sill start with a 30-minute lecture.
The first lecture will bring everybody on one level with regards to current politics, economic trends and basic demographics, including health and migration. In the workshop, following the lecture, we will discuss the major challenges Russia faces in the near future. The lecture after lunch will raise issues around Russia’s civil society and the state of the media, again followed by group discussions. The third and last section will revolve around Russia’s political and economic elites, the impact future sanctions might have on them and the possible scenarios for their children. In this last part, we will also consider the role of London and Russians in London with a glance into the future.
Elisabeth Schimpfossl is currently a Lecturer in Sociology and Policy at Aston University, Birmingham. Prior to that, she taught at a number of other universities in the UK (University College London, Liverpool University, Brunel University, University of Westminster), primarily in the field of Russian and Soviet politics and history. She is the author of Rich Russians: From Oligarchs to Bourgeoisie. A book on the media elite in Russia, co-authored with Ilya Yablokov, is in the pipeline.
The workshop will be in English.
