“The Joy of Consent”: Manon Garcia, Kate Kirkpatrick, and Andrés Saenz de Sicilia
In conversation with Kate Kirkpatrick and Andrés Saenz de Sicilia, leading feminist philosopher Manon Garcia will discuss contemporary sexual ethics alongside themes in her critically acclaimed new book, The Joy of Consent: A Philosophy of Good Sex. Drawing on sources rarely considered together—from Kantian ethics to kink practices— Garcia will reframe consent as an ally of pleasure rather than a legalistic killjoy, offering a framework for understanding it that is grounded in commitments to autonomy and dignity.
This promises to be a fantastic evening of philosophy from three of the most interesting and exciting voices in the field! You can find out more and buy tickets here.
Big thanks to Andrés Saenz de Sicilia and Maryam Aghdami for their help in organising this event.
