Europe and the World Centre (EWC) brings together kin-state politics scholars to discuss the recently published book Kin Majorities: Identity and Citizenship in Crimea and Moldova by Dr Eleanor Knott (LSE). Her book explores the intersections and (geo)politics of identity and citizenship in Moldova and Crimea in the wake of Russian annexation.

Professor Erika Harris (University of Liverpool) will chair a panel discussion between the author, Dr Andreea Udrea (Royal Holloway), Professor David Smith (University of Glasgow) and Dr Mate Subašić (University of Liverpool & MMU). The discussion will focus on situating the book within existing scholarship on ethnicity, nationalism, and conflict, evaluating its significance and contributions, and exploring broader implications and potential new research venues for studying kin-state politics.

The panel discussion will introduce key concepts and ideas before engaging more substantially with Eleanor’s book.
