Looking forward to trying out new material on "Consent, Trust, & Sexual Ethics" tomorrow at Surrey (also online). I'm still trying to figure out my views, so would love some help!

Elise Woodard, Mistreating Consent - PhilPapers Consent plays an important role in our lives. Using someone’s body or property without their consent is typically a serious wrong. However, there are various ways in which consensual interactions may ...

I’m thrilled to share that my paper, β€œMistreating Consent,” is forthcoming in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. I began working on it in 2021, and it improved enormously thanks to generous feedback at many stages along the way. I'm grateful it found a good home.

Somebody once said that part of the pleasure in buying a book is the mistaken belief that you're also buying the free time in which to read it...

In 1873, inspired by Pushkin, Tolstoy wrote to a friend rejoicing that he would finish drafting *Anna Karenina* in 15 days. It took him 4 more years.

He would've been a great academic.

AI content is like plastic surgery. People think they can spot it because they can identify botched work, but the good cases slip by invisibly.

Often, when I google women with a public platform, the first autofill option after their name is β€œhusband.” Nothing equivalent has ever happened when I’ve googled a man.

The Limits of Consent I recently participated in a panel on β€œThe Limits of Consent” at a conference on Consent, Trust, and Power at Oxford.

Some lukewarm-to-medium-hot takes for a panel on "The Limits of Consent" for the excellent *Consent, Truth, & Power* at Oxford this week.
