The SAFI Interdisciplinary Network for Women in Legal Academia 5th Annual Conference will be held on the 10th, 11th and 12th of September at the University of Glasgow on the topic of ‘Consent’.

Consent is a central notion in legal and political philosophy, as well as in ethics and doctrinal law, ranging from the ideal of the consent of the governed to laws regulating sexual consent. The conference aims to explore the topic of consent, and connect related themes, topics, questions and issues, broadly conceived.  

This will be a hybrid event with both in-person and online attendance available.
