Hello, I'm Jo Fidgen.
Welcome to the forum from the BBC World Service,
which today is coming from the historic centre of Oxford.
We're at the university's Oxford Martin School.
One of those classic ornate sandstone buildings that you see on photographs of the city.
And we're guests of the Financial Times Weekend Oxford Literary Festival.
The festival always attracts thousands of visitors and I'm delighted to say
that some of them have joined us here.
Well throughout this month the World Service is exploring identity and how it's changing as the world changes.
So for this programme we've brought together three people for whom identity is a central issue in their work.
Joining me on stage here at the Oxford Martin School are the bestselling author,
Ellis Shafak, who divides her time between Istanbul and London.
