Round Table
We welcome Professor Chloe Kennedy, University of Edinburgh, to talk about her new book Inducing Intimacy (Cambridge), published November 2024. Kennedy will be in conversation about her book with Peter Dunne and Yvette Russell.
In Inducing Intimacy, Kennedy presents a new way of evaluating the regulation of deceptively induced intimacy, that is, sex and sexual/romantic relationships, based on an innovative genealogy of legal response to this conduct. This book traces the development of a range of civil and criminal laws across c 250 years, showing how using deception to induce intimacy has been legally understood, compensated and punished. It offers an original interpretation of the form and function of these laws by situating them in their social and cultural contexts. It argues that prevailing notions of what makes intimacy valuable, including the role in plays in self-construction, have shaped and constrained the laws’ operation. It shows how deceptively induced sex has come to be treated more seriously while the opposite is true of deceptively induced relationships and concludes by presenting a new framework for deciding whether and when deceptively induced intimacy should be regulated by law today.
Chloë Kennedy is Professor of Law and History at the University of Edinburgh. Her main research interests are criminal law, legal theory, legal history, and the relationship between these areas. She is particularly interested in intellectual and cultural legal history, focussing on the ways that prevailing ideas have shaped the law’s development and continue to inform our contemporary assumptions. She has published extensively in these areas and in the areas of law and gender and law and religion.
