Description

Chloë Kennedy’s Inducing Intimacy: Deception, Consent and the Law (Cambridge 2024) tackles an important and timely topic that resonates across jurisdictions worldwide–the regulation of deceptively induced intimacy, notably through the criminal law–by taking a broadly interdisciplinary approach.

This workshop brings together an international group of contributors to a forthcoming Special Issue of the Modern Criminal Law Review, which will engage with Kennedy’s monograph to explore a wide range of connected issues (sex offenses, consent, deception, identity, criminalization, etc.) from several perspectives (doctrinal, historical, comparative, theoretical, etc.).

Participants include:

• Tatiana Badaró, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil


• Moa Bladini, University of Gothenburg, Sweden


• Beatriz Corrêa Camargo, Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Brazil


• Sarai Chisala-Tempelhoff, Gender and Justice Unit, Malawi (moderator)


• Aya Gruber, University of Southern California, US
