The Age of Consent

What’s on offer?

A 45-minute livestreamed discussion and Q&A about sexual consent.

What’s it about?

Modern day is the golden age of consent. However, there is still a strong difference of opinion on what constitutes consent throughout the population. Join Warwick's Laura Lammasniemi, a legal historian of consent in criminal court, and Amrita Ahluwalia and Gabrielle Blackburn from Narrative Matters, plus author and lecturer Dr Tanya Serisier from Birkbeck College, University of London, for a discussion and Q&A about sexual consent from a legal, historical, and social perspective.

Please note that the event will focus on sensitive and potentially distressing themes of sexual consent, sexual violence, and rape, and therefore suitable for age 16+.

Who’s leading the event?

Laura Lammasniemi
