This week I had a really interesting discussion with Prof. Heidi Matthews about law, consent, and the MeToo movement. Heidi is an Assistant Professor of law at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. She co-directs the Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security. Her research area is international criminal law, the law of war, political theory and law and sexuality, with a specific focus on global regulation of political violence in relation to history and gender. You can read Heidi’s Aeon article on sexual consent here. You can follow Heidi on Twitter @Heidi_Matthews
We recorded this conversation prior to the Blasey Ford/Kavanaugh hearing in the US Senate, and the subsequent confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court. Heidi has since published an article in The Conversation commenting on these events.
During the podcast, Heidi recommended listeners to consult the work of Paul Clark of Garden Court Chambers on the impact of economic austerity on the legal profession in the UK.
