The Contested Black Sea Region, including:

Jason Bruder (and my co-organiser), Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University, formerly the Senior Staffer for Europe/Eurasia on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a State Department official
Michael Cecire, inter alia previously, Senior Policy Adviser, U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe

Phil O'Brien, of our own School
Steve Pifer, inter alia previously US Ambassador to Ukraine; Stanford University

Our speakers are practitioner-scholars, and external participants have never physically been to St Andrews and, as far as I know, have also not engaged previously with us. This is also a “widening/networking” opportunity for everyone.
