Amia Srinivasan: The Right to Sex

Hear from internationally acclaimed feminist philosopher, writer and academic Amia Srinivasan as she discusses her debut book, The Right to Sex.

Described by The New York Times as ‘quietly dazzling’, The Right to Sex is a landmark examination of the politics and ethics of sex. ‘A truly inclusionary politics,’ Amia writes, ‘is an uncomfortable, unsafe politics.’ Moving beyond questions of consent, and the notion of wanted or unwanted sex, this formidable collection re-centres the second-way feminist idea of the personal as political in thrilling new ways, asking us to interrogate what it is that shapes our expectations and desires.

For this online conversation, Srinivasan will be joined by celebrated feminist historian Clare Wright.

Presented in partnership with Adelaide Writers’ Week
