Book Launch | Consenting Children: Autonomy, Responsibility, Well-Being


This event is followed by a drinks reception and nibbles for all attendees

Join us for the launch event of the recently published Proceedings of the British Academy volume, Consenting Children: Autonomy, Responsibility, Well-Being. We will discuss why children are treated differently from adults across areas such as health care, education, work, and criminal justice and when, if ever, this difference is justified. Bringing together philosophers and legal scholars, Consenting Children examines how and why distinctions are drawn between adults, children, and adolescents, offering rich disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives on consent and responsibility.
