French philosopher Manon Garcia investigates female submission through a philosophical lens and interrogates the legal and social parameters of consent in the age of #MeToo. On the occasion of the publication of her book The Joy of Consent: A Philosophy of Good Sex (Harvard University Press, 2023), she will be in discussion with Dr Adina Stroia, Lecturer in French.
