Interdisciplinary one-day symposium. We welcome trans-disciplinary contributions, from legal, sociological, legal, psychological, philosophical, political and cultural studies, as well as from the arts.

From government incentives for women to have more children and the ‘slut-shaming’ phenomenon, to the erasure of rights and legal recognition of LGBTIQ++ people, and beyond, we live in a time where political and social forces play a powerful role in regulating our sexuality and sexual behaviour. It is therefore necessary and timely to consider how sexuality is related to our agency as human beings, particularly in terms of how autonomy and self-determination shape and are shaped by sex and sexuality.
