People

Members of the LSE Historical Economic Demography (HED) Group are drawn from across LSE's academic departments, reflecting the interdisciplinarity of the group. The HED group is co-directed by Eric Schneider and Neil Cummins. In addition, a board made up of several more group members advises on the group's strategy and helps to organise events. The board currently includes Izzi Carter, Nick Fitzhenry, Louis Henderson, Tracy Keefe and Chris Minns. The group is happy to host academic visitors through the Economic History Department. Please get in touch with the directors if you would like to join the group or enquire about a visit to LSE.
