Welcome to the LSE Events Podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Good evening.
Welcome to the LSE and welcome to Professor Mark Malek-Brown's inaugural lecture as visiting professor and to a conversation
between Mark and Stephanie Flanders on development after Trump.
I'm Stefan Chambers.
I run the Marshall Institute here at the LSE and I'm delighted to be with you.
Welcome to those of you in the room, people I can see, and welcome to those following us online from all over the world.
It's my honor to introduce this evening on behalf of the LSE's School of Public Policy and the Marshall Institute.
It 's my duty to say that if there 's a fire alarm,
we should assemble outside and stewards will guide and assist us were that to happen.
And it's my pleasure to ask you to turn your phones to silent.
Mark will speak for about 35 minutes, after which he'll be in conversation with Stephanie for around 25 minutes.
And that should leave us about half an hour for your questions, which I'll take both from you from the floor and online.
Those of you watching remotely, please use the chat function for your.
Questions and please let us know your name and where you 're from and if you possibly
can frame your questions as questions.
This event this evening will be recorded so both your brilliant questions and our speakers insights can be rewound and remembered
but only if you wait if you 're in the room for the mic to come.
To you so that we can tell, and you please also tell us who you are and where you're from.
